Duprost Dutasteride 0.5mg Cipla Duprost

Product Information

Duprost Definition Dutasteride is a drug that reduces the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that causes the prostate to enlarge and hair follicles to shrink, causing benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern baldness. Testosterone is converted to DHT by 5-alpha reductase.

Dutasteride reduces the production of DHT by inhibiting this 5-alpha reductase enzyme and is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia¹ and male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia).

1. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

It is a condition in which the size of the prostate surrounding the urethra, which is the discharge passage of urine, has become enlarged (prostate enlargement). The main symptoms include urinary difficulties, residual urine sensation, and nocturia.

2. Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia)

It is a typical form of hair loss disease in which hair falls out due to androgen, a male hormone.
