Urodart 0.5mg Capsule contains Dutasteride, which is classified as a 5-Alpha reductase inhibitor medication. It is prescribed to adult men to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. BPH occurs due to the increased production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in aging men. Symptoms of BPH include urinary difficulties, urinary incontinence, frequent nighttime urination, sexual dysfunction, and painful ejaculation.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
Urodart 0.5mg Capsule contains a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor called dutasteride. It works by blocking the activity of the type II 5-alpha reductase enzymes in the body. These enzymes are responsible for converting testosterone, a normal male hormone, into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a more potent androgen.
By inhibiting the action of type II 5-alpha reductase, dutasteride reduces the production of DHT. High levels of DHT are believed to contribute to the enlargement of the prostate gland in individuals with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By reducing the levels of DHT, dutasteride helps to shrink the enlarged prostate, thereby alleviating the symptoms associated with BPH.
The inhibition of 5-alpha reductase by dutasteride helps to restore the balance of hormones in the prostate gland, leading to a reduction in the size of the prostate and an improvement in the signs and symptoms of BPH.
Dutasteride is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate to:
Dutasteride is a dual 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, meaning it inhibits both type 1 and type 2 5-alpha reductase enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for the conversion of testosterone to its more potent form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By inhibiting both types of 5-alpha reductase, dutasteride effectively reduces the levels of DHT in the body.
DHT plays a crucial role in the development and growth of the prostate gland. Elevated levels of DHT can contribute to the enlargement of the prostate, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dutasteride's mechanism of action helps to prevent the conversion of testosterone to DHT, thereby reducing the stimulation of prostate tissue growth and alleviating the symptoms associated with BPH.
By inhibiting the production of DHT, dutasteride helps to manage the hypertrophy (enlargement) of the prostatic tissue, which is primarily driven by the effects of DHT. This makes dutasteride an effective medication for treating the signs and symptoms of BPH in adult men.
The recommended dose is Dutasteride 0.5 mg orally once daily. The capsules should be swallowed whole. Dutasteride may be administered with or without food.

Dutasteride is not recommended for women or children, as well as those who have a known hypersensitivity to it or other 5 a-reductase inhibitors. Warnings: Women in danger of being exposed to a male fetus: Dutasteride is a topical medication that is absorbed through the skin. Because of the probability of Dutasteride absorption and the risk of a fetal anomaly in a male baby, women who are pregnant or may be pregnant should avoid handling Dutasteride capsules. If you come into contact with leaking capsules, wash the area with soap and water right away.
Urodart 0.5mg Capsule is specially designed for men. Pregnant women should not come in contact with this medicine, as it gets absorbed via the skin and can adversely affect the growing fetus. Thus, pregnant women should avoid contact with this medicine. It should also not be used by nursing mothers.
