Description

Avosteride 0.5 works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Elevated DHT levels are associated with prostate enlargement and hair follicle shrinkage.

 

By reducing DHT levels, this medication helps:

Improve urinary symptoms caused by prostate enlargement
Promote hair regrowth and reduce hair thinning
Slow the progression of male pattern baldness

It is commonly prescribed for long-term use and requires consistent intake for noticeable results.
