What is Duprost (Dutasteride) used for?

Duprost (Dutasteride) is an oral medication used to treat men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP). It operates by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone to reduce the size of the enlarged prostate. This can prevent symptoms associated with this condition including involuntary leakage of urine, inability to empty the bladder, or the frequent urgent need to urinate. Your doctor may prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.
