Avodart (Dutasteride UK)

What is Avodart?

Avodart belongs to a class of medication known as 5-reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs). The active ingredient in Avodart is dutasteride. It is used primarily to improve the flow of urine in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

How Does Avodart Work?

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is growth of the prostate gland caused by the body producing too much of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. Growth can put pressure on the bladder and the urethra, which can cause both a need to pass water frequently and difficulty in doing so. It can also make it difficult to fully empty your bladder. Dutasteride, the active ingredient in Avodart, lowers the production of dihydrotestosterone, which helps to shrink the prostate and relieve the symptoms.
