Patient summary
Dutasteride 0.5mg soft capsules, used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia. A 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.
Mechanism of action
It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. By reducing these hormone levels, it shrinks the prostate gland over time and helps slow hair loss related to androgenic effects.

Pregnancy: Contraindicated for women. Pregnant women should not handle leaking capsules. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
