What is Avodart?
Avodart is a prescription medication used to treat male pattern baldness (hair loss) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It belongs to the 5-alpha reductase inhibitor class and is available in 0.5mg capsules. Avodart helps manage hair thinning and reduces an enlarged prostate.
Benefits of Avodart for hair loss
- Inhibits DHT production, the main cause of hair loss.
- Supports hair growth by reducing DHT levels in the scalp.
- May slow hair thinning and help retain existing hair.
How does Avodart work?
Avodart contains the active ingredient Dutasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone linked to hair loss and prostate enlargement. By reducing DHT levels, Avodart helps slow hair thinning and shrink an enlarged prostate, relieving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Avodart 0.5mg capsules ingredients
Avodart contains both active and inactive ingredients that work together to treat hair loss.
- Active ingredient: Dutasteride 0.5mg
- Other ingredients: Lecithin, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, gelatin, glycerol
Avodart alternatives
There are other treatment options available for hair loss that you can buy from Click Pharmacy.
- Finasteride (Propecia): Another 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces DHT levels.
- Minoxidil: A topical solution that stimulates hair growth.
