Deetor

Product Overview

Deetor is a medication containing the active ingredient Dutasteride. It belongs to a class of drugs known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Deetor is primarily prescribed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. By inhibiting the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, Deetor reduces the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate enlargement. This helps alleviate symptoms of BPH such as urinary hesitancy, frequent urination, and weak urine flow.

Uses

Deetor is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in aging men characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. It helps reduce the size of the prostate gland and improve urinary symptoms associated with BPH. Deetor may also be prescribed off-label for the treatment of male pattern baldness, as it inhibits the production of DHT, a hormone implicated in hair loss.

How to Use

Deetor is usually taken orally once daily with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water, and do not crush, chew, or break it. It may take several months of continued use to see the full benefits of Deetor for the treatment of BPH. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dosage.

How it Works

Deetor works by inhibiting the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate gland. DHT is a hormone that contributes to prostate enlargement and the development of BPH. By blocking the production of DHT, Deetor helps reduce the size of the prostate gland, relieving urinary symptoms associated with BPH.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Deetor for the treatment of BPH is usually 0.5 mg once daily. It may take several weeks to months of continued use to experience the full benefits of Deetor. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dosage based on your individual response to the medication. Do not stop taking Deetor without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen your condition.

Benefits

Deetor offers several benefits for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps improve urinary symptoms such as urinary hesitancy, frequent urination, and weak urine flow, allowing patients to urinate more easily and with less discomfort. By reducing the size of the prostate gland, Deetor may also decrease the risk of complications associated with BPH, such as urinary retention and urinary tract infections.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Deetor may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, breast tenderness or enlargement, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving with continued use or upon discontinuation of the medication. However, if you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider.

Warnings

Before taking Deetor, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of liver disease or prostate cancer. Deetor may increase the risk of high-grade prostate cancer, so it should be used with caution in patients with a history of prostate cancer. Pregnant women, women of childbearing potential, and children should not handle Deetor capsules due to the risk of absorption through the skin.

Do not store Deetor in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink, where it may be exposed to moisture. Properly discard any unused or expired medication, following local regulations for medication disposal.
