Avodart (Dutasteride)

Mechanism of action of Avodart:

Generic Dutasteride is the major therapeutic ingredient present in this drug and falls under the class of drugs called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. As the prostate grows, it may give rise to urinary problems, for instance, trouble in passing urine and a desire to go to the toilet often. It may also result in slower and a less dynamic flow of the urine. If left untreated, there can be a hazard that your urine flow will be totally clogged (condition called acute urinary retention). This calls for an urgent medical attention.

In some conditions, surgery becomes essential in order to remove or decrease the size of the prostate gland. Avodart exerts its action by inhibiting a hormone named dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which seems to bring about hair loss (also called Male Pattern Baldness) in most of the males. DHT is also the primary reason behind the incidence of prostate enlargement in males (a condition called as benign prostatic hyperplasia).
