Who qualifies for Dutasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors individually assess each patient to determine if Dutasteride is an appropriate treatment. They look for specific criteria:

  • Diagnosis: Primarily for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or, in some cases, male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
  • Medical History: Doctors review your full medical history, including any existing conditions, allergies, or other medications you are currently taking to prevent contraindications.
  • Current Symptoms: For BPH, symptoms like frequent urination, difficulty urinating, or a weak stream are considered. For hair loss, the pattern and extent of hair thinning are evaluated.
  • Age and Gender: Dutasteride is approved for adult men.

The doctor must find the treatment suitable for your health and condition before issuing a prescription.

Noticing changes in your hair?

An EU-licensed doctor can privately review your case and decide whether a hair-growth treatment is appropriate for you. Online consultation for 45 € every 90 days or 35 € one-off, reply within 24 h.

What Dutasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Dutasteride, also known by the brand name Avodart, is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It works by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate enlargement and hair loss. By lowering DHT levels, Dutasteride helps to:

  • Shrink the prostate: Alleviating symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) such as urinary urgency, frequency, and weak stream.
  • Reduce hair loss: For male pattern baldness, it can slow down hair shedding and, for some, promote new hair growth by preventing hair follicles from shrinking.

Results are not immediate. For BPH, it can take several months to notice significant improvement in symptoms. For hair loss, you might see reduced shedding within 3-6 months, with new hair growth potentially becoming noticeable after 6-12 months of consistent use. Dutasteride does not cure BPH or hair loss; it manages the conditions, and benefits typically diminish if treatment is stopped.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Dutasteride can cause side effects. Common side effects may include:

  • Decreased libido (sex drive)
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Ejaculation disorders
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia)

These side effects are often mild and may resolve with continued use. However, you should contact your doctor immediately if you experience more serious or persistent side effects, such as:

  • Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face, tongue, or throat)
  • Depressed mood
  • Lumps or pain in the breast area, or nipple discharge (which could be signs of male breast cancer)

Always discuss any concerns with your prescribing doctor. They will advise if you should stop the medication or adjust your treatment plan.
