Application


  • Therapeutic Applications for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Dutasteride, a potent 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, is pivotal in developing plant-derived bioactive metabolites as alternatives for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This research highlights the potential of dutasteride in enhancing the efficacy and safety of prostate health treatments (Krishnamoorthi et al., 2024).

  • Innovative Formulations for Hair Loss Treatment: Dutasteride is explored for its compatibility and efficacy in TrichoFoam, a natural vehicle for hair foams. This study demonstrates the potential of dutasteride in combination with other agents for treating androgenetic alopecia, providing a synergistic approach to hair loss management (Polonini et al., 2024).

  • Impact on Sexual Dysfunction: The implications of dutasteride therapy for androgenetic alopecia on sexual dysfunction are critically analyzed. This global propensity-score-matched retrospective cohort study enhances our understanding of the side effects associated with long-term use of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (Lauck et al., 2024).

  • Hormonal Background of Hair Loss: Dutasteride′s role is examined in the context of non-scarring alopecias, where hormonal imbalances play a significant part. This review discusses the hormonal mechanisms influenced by dutasteride, shedding light on its comprehensive effects in hair loss treatments (Owecka et al., 2024).

  • Prostate Cancer Screening and Management: The effect of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like dutasteride on the accuracy of prostate cancer detection through MRI is scrutinized. This research underscores the importance of understanding the pharmacological actions of dutasteride in improving diagnostic and management strategies for prostate cancer (Morote et al., 2024).
