Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an age-related phenomenon associated with prostatic enlargement and bladder outlet obstruction that can cause significant lower urinary tract symptoms that greatly affect quality of life. Dutasteride is a selective inhibitor of type 1 and type 2 isoforms of 5-α-reductase, an enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone to 5-α-dihydrotestosterone, approved as a treatment for symptomatic BPH. Areas covered: This article will cover the… CONTINUE READING
