Avodart (dutasteride) mechanism of action and indications for use

Avodart is a drug that acts directly on the prostate tissue. It is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of benign prostate tumors. It also reduces the risk of acute urinary retention. Avodart capsules may be used in conjunction with other drugs that affect hormone metabolism.

Avodart active substance is dutasteride. It affects the hormonal metabolism of the prostate gland. Avodart helps the hormone-dependent tissue reduce in size without surgery. The active substance of the drug helps block the growth of the prostate gland, reduce inflammatory processes and spasms, prevent accumulation of urine, and normalize metabolic processes in the prostate gland. Moreover, the drug increases the chance to avoid surgical intervention.

According to the reviews, the maximum therapeutic effect of the drug is achieved within 7-14 days after the beginning of treatment.

When you should not use Avodart (dutasteride)

Avodart is contraindicated in men with prostate hyperplasia, as well as acute urinary retention. It should not be used in case of hypersensitivity to the drug and liver failure. Doctors do not prescribe this drug for women and children, since there is no data on the use of the drug in these patients.

How to use Avodart (dutasteride)

Avodart can be used either alone as monotherapy or in combination with some other drugs.

Avodart capsules can be taken regardless of meals (one capsule once a day). One capsule contains 0.5 mg of active substance (dutasteride). The recommended dose for adults is one capsule (0.5 mg) per day.

Patients with impaired renal function: no dose adjustment in patients with impaired renal function is required.

Patients with impaired hepatic function: care must be taken when using Avodart in patients with impaired hepatic function.

Do not open or chew the capsule, since the drug causes irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.

Doctors say that accidental overdoses of Avodart capsules are rare.

Damn… I thought that I would have a little bit of luck and I would see at least one review about this drug. I cannot say anything about this drug as I haven’t taken it yet but I’m interested in it because I want to use it. if there would be somebody who has some information about it (I’m talking about DUTAHAIR) that contains the active ingredient dutasteride 0.5 mg then please write me back. Write me in PM. I need your answer. I have seen that the manufacturer of this drug is Fortune, an Indian company. I’m now thinking about placing an order of it from India (obviously it is imported in US from India).

I am suffering from BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) for nearly 4 years now and it is been a struggle for me. for almost 3 years of all that time that I have had it I was using Flomax, however, I then have noticed that the pains in my upper legs I was having are thanks to this product Flomax so I have asked my doctor to find me another medication that wouldn’t give me these pains. Later I have started to take Avodart, it was about one year ago, and a little bit later I have stopped to take Flomax at all, approximately after one month when I was taking both of them. my prostate has shrunken down in its size so my last PSA I have had was under 1. Obviously both my doctor and me were very glad with these results. Well, my biggest problem now is almost complete impotence as well as almost complete loss of libido. I don’t really know why but my wife is thinking that my problem (the impotence part) doesn’t have to do anything with Avodart even though the difference is quite obvious. Anyway, we’re keep trying to improve this situation but we’re not that sure something would come out of it. that’s because my erections are extremely long when it needs to come and even if in the end it comes it is very rarely firm enough for penetrating. Besides that, obviously my orgasms are taking forever to reach them and I have also noticed that even though sometimes I do reach it (with lot of trying), the ejaculation is somehow reduced. Another thing besides my impotence troubles is that my breasts growing in size and now they are having a size approximately of a teenage girl or something like that. OK, even before I have started to take this drug I was a little bit overweight so it was a problem in the past too, but now, when taking it, there’s no way of controlling my weight properly. I’m going to talk about this with the doctor because he doesn’t know about it for now but I’ll make him know and I hope that he would do something about it like stopping the treatment with it and then maybe giving me another better medication. I hope that there are other betters.
