What is Dutasteride?

Dustasteride is a 5 alpha reductase enzyme inhibitor which is used to treat Benign Prostate Hyperplasia in men. Benign Prostate Hyperplasia is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, which causes urinary symptoms such as

Prostate growth is caused by a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Dutasteride lowers DHT production in the body, leading to shrinkage of the enlarged prostate thus reducing the urinary problems.
