Frequently Asked Questions for Dutasteride

What It Is

Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules are an oral medication that targets male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. The active ingredient, Dutasteride, inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. This medication is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate.

How It Works

Dutasteride works by blocking the action of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. DHT is linked to hair follicle shrinkage and shorter hair growth cycles, leading to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Dutasteride helps to prevent further hair loss and encourages hair regrowth, leading to fuller and thicker hair. Results may take several months, so consistent use is important for optimal outcomes.

How to Use

Take one Dutasteride 0.5mg capsule once daily. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food. Do not chew or open the capsule. It's important to continue taking the medication for up to 6 months to see the full effects. If you have any questions about the dosage, consult with your healthcare provider.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, reduced libido, and ejaculation disorders. Serious side effects are rare but can include swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, and difficulty swallowing. If you experience any severe side effects, seek medical attention immediately. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting treatment to ensure it is safe for you.

Warnings and Precautions

Dutasteride is not suitable for women or children and should be handled with care. It is not recommended for people with liver disease or those allergic to Dutasteride. If you are planning to donate blood, avoid doing so while taking this medication and for at least 6 months after your last dose. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting treatment to ensure its suitability for your health condition.
