Avodart

Description

Avodart (generic name: dutasteride; brand names include: Tridesun / Avidart / Avolve / Duagen / Dutas / Dutagen / Duprost) is used to treat prostate enlargement, a condition that is medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH.

Unlike most other prostate medicines, over time, Avodart actually shrinks the prostate, treating the cause - not just the symptoms - of urinary problems.

The benefits of Avodart include:

Shrinking of the size of the prostate
Improving bothersome urinary symptoms
Reducing the need for surgery for an enlarging prostate
Reducing the chance of problems such as acute urinary retention (AUR), the sudden inability to urinate

Avodart works by lowering the amount of the male hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shrinks an enlarged prostate. When the prostate is smaller, less pressure is placed on the urethra, which improves bothersome urinary symptoms.

In some men, by targeting DHT, Avodart begins to shrink the size of the prostate in just one month.

By shrinking the prostate, over time, Avodart can help the symptoms of an enlarged prostate from getting worse and can reduce the risk of needing prostate surgery. Studies have shown that treatment with Avodart offers both a reduction in prostate size and lasting symptom improvement for up to 4 years.

Avodart is supplied as Tridesun tablets containing dutasteride 0.5 mg. The tabs come in blister packs, 10 per pack.
