📋Overview
Dutasteride is a medication that affects the levels of certain hormones in the body, specifically by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is commonly associated with conditions involving the prostate gland, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlargement of the prostate. By reducing DHT levels, dutasteride can influence prostate size and related urinary symptoms. It may also be discussed in the context of hair loss and other hormone-related conditions.
