NOVODART 0.5 MG – 10 TABLETS

NOVODART 0.5 MG is a prescription medication that addresses symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dutasteride, the active ingredient, inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate enlargement. By reducing DHT levels, NOVODART helps to shrink the prostate and alleviate associated symptoms, improving urinary flow and reducing the need for frequent urination.

Usage Instructions:
Dosage: Take one NOVODART 0.5 MG capsule daily, with or without food.
Consistency: For best results, take the medication at the same time each day.
Swallow: Swallow the capsule whole with water. Do not crush or chew the capsule.
Medicinal Advantages:
Effective Relief: Reduces symptoms of BPH, including urinary frequency and urgency.
Prostate Shrinking: Helps decrease the size of an enlarged prostate, improving urinary flow.
Quality of Life: Enhances overall quality of life by managing BPH symptoms effectively.
Mechanism of Action:
NOVODART 0.5 MG works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Lower DHT levels lead to a reduction in prostate size, which alleviates symptoms of BPH and improves urinary function.
