Avodart
3 customer reviewsWhat is it?
Avodart is a drug whose main active ingredient is dutasteride. The drug is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which prostate tissue grows, narrowing the urethra and making it difficult to urinate. Avodart belongs to a group of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, reducing levels of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that promotes the growth of prostate cells.
The drugs mechanism of action is aimed at reducing the size of the enlarged prostate, relieving the symptoms of BPH and preventing complications such as urinary retention or the need for surgery. Due to its effectiveness, Avodart is often prescribed as part of long-term therapy.
Composition
Avodart is available in soft gelatin capsules containing a viscous liquid. The main components include:- Active ingredient: dutasteride at a dosage of 0.5 mg per capsule.
- Excipients: monocaprylic glyceride, butylhydroxytoluene (antioxidant).
- Capsule shell: gelatin, glycerin, iron oxide (yellow and red), purified water.
How to use?
For maximum effectiveness, Avodart should be taken strictly as directed by your doctor. The usual dose is one capsule (0.5 mg) per day. The capsule should be swallowed whole, without chewing or opening, to avoid irritation of the mucous membrane of the mouth or throat. It is recommended to adhere to the following rules of administration:- Take the capsule at the same time every day to maintain a stable level of the drug in the body.
- Wash down the capsule with water; avoid taking it on an empty stomach if you have stomach problems.
- Do not interrupt the course of treatment, even if the symptoms have subsided, as the effect accumulates over time.
How does it work?
Avodart works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT plays a key role in the enlargement of the prostate gland, so reducing its levels helps reduce hyperplasia. Over time, Avodart helps:- Reduce the volume of the enlarged prostate, which reduces pressure on the urethra.
- Improve urine flow, eliminating symptoms such as frequent or difficult urination.
- Prevent disease progression, including the risk of acute urinary retention.
Indications
Avodart is indicated for the treatment and symptom control of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The drug helps prevent complications and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from this disease. Major indications include:- Reducing the size of an enlarged prostate to relieve symptoms.
- Preventing acute urinary retention that requires catheterization or surgery.
- Reducing the risk of needing prostate surgery.
- Relieving urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine stream, and incomplete bladder emptying.
Contraindications
Despite the effectiveness of Avodart, its use has a number of limitations. The drug is contraindicated in the following cases:- Hypersensitivity to dutasteride or any excipients of the drug.
- Severe liver disease or significant liver dysfunction.
- Use in women and children, since the drug is intended only for the treatment of men.
- Planning conception in men, since dutasteride can reduce the quality of sperm.
Side effects
Avodart, like any medicine, can cause side effects. Although most patients tolerate the drug well, it is important to be aware of possible adverse reactions in order to seek medical help in time. The most common side effects include:- Decreased libido and potency.
- Decreased ejaculate volume.
- Gynecomastia (enlargement or tenderness of the mammary glands).
- Allergic reactions such as rash, itching or swelling.

I have been taking Avodart for about six months now, and the results became noticeable after about three months. The symptoms of BPH have significantly decreased, and I can finally sleep normally at night without constantly having to go to the toilet. I have not noticed any side effects, so I plan to continue the treatment.

Avodart was prescribed by a urologist after diagnosing prostate hyperplasia. The drug helped get rid of the feeling of discomfort when urinating. The treatment is long, but it is worth it. At first, I was bothered by slight dizziness, but then everything returned to normal.

At first I was skeptical about the medicine, but after a couple of months of use I realized that it works. The stream became stronger, and my general well-being improved. The only thing is that the volume of ejaculate decreased, but this is not critical for me
