Urodart Capsule 0.5 mg contains Dutasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. BPH is a condition characterized by the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can lead to urinary symptoms such as difficulty in urination, weak urine flow, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.

Dutasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate enlargement. By reducing DHT levels, Urodart Capsule helps shrink the prostate over time, improving urinary flow and relieving symptoms associated with BPH.

This medication is particularly beneficial for patients with moderate to severe BPH and may also reduce the risk of urinary retention and the need for prostate surgery. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is recommended to monitor treatment progress.

Composition

Each capsule contains:
Dutasteride – 0.5 mg

Indications

Urodart Capsule 0.5 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

• Relief of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with prostate enlargement

• Reduction in the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for BPH-related surgery

Mechanism of Action

Dutasteride selectively inhibits both type 1 and type 2 isoforms of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which contributes to prostate growth. By reducing DHT levels:

• The prostate gradually decreases in size

• Urinary symptoms improve

• Risk of complications such as urinary retention is lowered

The effect of Dutasteride is gradual and may take several months to achieve maximum benefit.
