What is Dutasteride used for?

Dutasteride is primarily used to manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

This medication is also sometimes used in combination with other treatments for prostate health.

What are the side effects of Dutasteride?

What precautions apply to Dutasteride?

Dutasteride should be handled with care, especially by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as it can cause birth defects. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping the medication. Always store Dutasteride in a safe place, away from children and pets.

What does Dutasteride interact with?

Dutasteride may interact with other medications, including those that affect liver enzymes.
