Generic Dutasteride Capsules (Duprost) - Product Information

What are Dutasteride Capsules Used For?

Duprost 0.5 mg capsules, manufactured by Cipla Ltd. in the strength of 0.5 mg, are commonly used as oral therapy for the treatment of symptoms which are characteristic of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a medical condition that leads to men developing an enlarged prostate gland. Dutasteride capsules are 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. They block the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, the hormone which results in the development of benign prostate hyperplasia (prostate enlargement). Dutasteride Capsules are used as therapy for the treatment of acute urinary retention (urinary blockage) symptoms such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the inclination to urinate repeatedly or urgently (including during the middle of the night). The administration of Generic Dutasteride capsules may also decrease the need for a surgery to reduce the size of an enlarged prostate in patients diagnosed with mild to moderate BPH.
Duprost Capsules should not be administered to prevent the development of prostate cancer in men. Dutasteride Capsules may be used by itself or in combination with another medication called Tamsulosin (Flomax) for the effective treatment of benign prostatic cancer. Before starting the course of Dutasteride Capsules, discuss the risks and benefits of the medication with your doctor because Dutasteride Capsules may increase the risk of developing a serious type of prostate cancer. Dutasteride capsules should not be administered to women or children, because their administration results in deficient development of the male sex organs in the unborn fetus and in growing children. Duprost capsules are not approved for the treatment of hair loss in men.

Dutasteride Mechanism of Action – How Does Duprost Work?

Dutasteride Capsules are used to reduce the size of the enlarged prostate gland in patients diagnosed with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). Dutasteride Capsules belong to the class of drugs known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, which block the enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. The enzyme 5-alpha reductase regulates the conversion of male hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for the enlargement of the prostate gland.
By reducing the amount of DHT in the prostate gland, Dutasteride Capsules effectively reduce the size of the prostate gland. When the prostate gland reduces its size, it eases its pressure on the bladder and urethra, thereby allowing the smooth passage and free flow of urine.
