Product Description :

• The active ingredient is Dutasteride. It belongs to a group of medicines called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.


• Duserex capsule is used to treat men with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) -a noncancerous growth of the prostate gland, caused by producing too much of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone.


• As the prostate grows, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty in passing urine and a need to go to the toilet frequently. It can also cause the flow of the urine to be slower and less forceful.


• If left untreated, there is a risk that your urine flow will be completely blocked (acute urinary retention). This requires immediate medical treatment. In some situations, surgery is necessary to remove or reduce the size of the prostate gland.


• Duserex capsule lowers the production of dihydrotestosterone, which helps to shrink the prostate and relieve the symptoms. This will reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery.


• Duserex capsules may also be used with another medicine called tamsulosin (used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate)
