What is Dutagen (Dutasteride) used for?

Dutagen (Dutagenteride) is for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate. DHT is the androgen primarily responsible for the initial development and subsequent enlargement of the prostate gland. This medication acts as an antagonist for this chemical and works to reduce prostate enlargement to relieve pressure on the urethra. This pressure may cause painful urination or inability to empty the bladder.

Dutagen (Dutagenteride) may be taken with or without food. The recommended dose is 0.5mg (1 capsule) taken orally once a day with a full glass of water. The capsule should be swallowed whole and not chewed, split, or dissolved prior to use. This will alter the release of the medicine and could cause further health problems.

Some side effects may occur while taking Dutagen (Dutasteride). If any symptoms become troubling or intense, contact your doctor. Symptoms may include:
