Avodart 0.5mg capsules help in the treatment of hair loss by inhibiting the production of DHT, which is a hormone that plays a role in hair loss. The drug works by binding to the enzymes that are responsible for the production of DHT, thus preventing its formation. This leads to a reduction in the amount of DHT in the scalp, which helps to stop hair loss and promote new hair growth. In addition, avodart 0.5mg capsules also help to reduce the size of the prostate gland and improve urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate.
