INDICATIONS
Avodart is used for treating signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlargement of the prostate gland. It also helps to relieve the chance of urinary blockage as well as the dependence on prostate surgery. It may also be used and also other medicines (eg, tamsulosin). Avodart is really a 5 alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitor. It works by lowering amounts of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can be a major cause of prostate growth. Lowering DHT results in shrinkage in the enlarged prostate gland.
