Cut hair loss with Dutasteride

Dutasteride, used to treat an enlarged prostate, is also a powerful, fast-acting weapon against hair loss

Dutasteride was developed for treating symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) – an enlarged prostate – in men. Dutasteride is chemically similar to Finasteride (more commonly known under the trade names of Proscar®, Propecia® and Avodart®), but has proven more effective in clinical trials. Like Finasteride, Dutasteride has proved to be effective in treating male pattern hair loss as well as BPH.

Researchers have discovered that men who suffer from either male pattern hair loss or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), have increased levels of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

DHT is produced from testosterone by an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. Biochemical analysis reveals higher levels of 5-alpha-reductase in the bloodstream of men with BPH, and in the scalps of men with hair loss; and less of this enzyme in men with no BPH or no hair loss.

Dutasteride inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, blocking the formation of DHT. This interrupts a key trigger element in development of male pattern hair loss and in development of BPH. Finasteride only inhibits the specific enzyme known as type-II, whereas Dutasteride blocks both type-I and type-II. Dutasteride is, therefore, a lot more potent than Finasteride.

Note:
DHT levels can be monitored using the hormone test kit.

Caution:
Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor and therefore must not be handled or used by women.
