How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Dutasteride). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Dutasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
DHT is the androgen primarily responsible for the initial development and subsequent enlargement of the prostate gland.
Metabolism and Elimination Dutasteride is extensively metabolized in humans.
Dutasteride and its metabolites were excreted mainly in feces.
When the drug is administered with food, the maximum serum concentrations were reduced by 10% to 15%.
