What is dutasteride (Avodart)?
Dutasteride prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. DHT is involved in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Dutasteride is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate. Dutasteride helps improve urinary flow and may also reduce your need for prostate surgery later on.
Dutasteride is sometimes given with another medication called tamsulosin (Flomax). Be sure to read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each of your medications.
Applications
Dutasteride has been found to be well-tolerated in clinical studies in both men and women, producing minimal side effects. Sexual dysfunction, includingerectile dysfunction, loss of libido, and reduced ejaculate may occur in 3.4 to 15.8% of men treated with the drug. Several small studies have reported an association between 5α-reductase inhibitors and depression. However, most studies have not observed this side effect, and a direct link has yet been established. There have also been reports in a subset of men of long-lasting sexual dysfunction and depression persisting even after discontinuation of dutasteride. Other general side effects include headache and gastrointestinal discomfort. Isolated reports of menstrual changes, acne, and dizzinessalso exist. There is a very small risk of gynecomastia (breast enlargement) in men. In pregnant women, dutasteride can cause birth defects in malefetuses, namely ambiguous genitalia, and for this reason, should never be given to them.
