DUTAGEN SOFTGEL 0.5MG 10 Tablets

Dutagen

Dutagen is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which is a type of medication used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (overgrowth of the prostate gland, a gland situated between the bladder and penis). As men become older, benign prostatic hyperplasia becomes more common. Urinary symptoms caused by an inflamed prostate gland include a blockage of urine flow out of the bladder. It can also create difficulties with the urinary tract, bladder, or kidneys.

Dutagen inhibits the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. It inhibits an enzyme that converts testosterone (male hormone) to another hormone that induces prostate development (a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis). As a result, it aids in the shrinking of the prostate (a walnut-sized gland positioned between the bladder and the penis) and the alleviation of symptoms such as urinary incontinence.

Dutagen should be taken as directed by your doctor. Depending on your medical problems, you should take Dutagen for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Low sexual desire, allergic reactions, and impotence are all possible side effects (inability to get and keep an erection firm sufficient for sex.). The majority of Dutagen’s negative effects do not necessitate medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if the negative effects do not go away, consult your doctor.

If you have an allergy to any part of Dutagen, please tell your doctor before starting. While using Dutagen, tell your doctor if you have severe liver disease. This Dutagen is solely used by men. Dutagen is not approved for women, so don’t use it on them. If you’re a woman taking Dutagen, tell your doctor if you’re pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
