The Potent Avodart

Avodart

Generic Name: Dustateride

Avodart also known as Dustateride is one of the less known oral drug that is effective for stopping DHT. This drug is used for treating people suffering from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or prostate enlargement.

Scientists have found that this drug has potential to stop hair loss similar to Finasteride, or maybe even more effectively.

Who made this?

Glaxo Smith Klein is a very well known British pharmaceutical giant that has a history dating back to the 1880s. GSK was formed when Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKlien Beecham merged in 2000. The company achieved sales in pharmaceutical products of £ 19.2 billion for its most popular products like

• Seretide for asthma
• Vaccines
• Avandia, an anti diabetic angonist
• Lamictal for epilepsy

The company has presence in more than 70 locations worldwide and its products go through very strict quality controls and tests.

What makes it work?

The main active ingredient of Avodart is of course Dustateride. This drug is a potent DHT inhibitor as it blocks two types of the 5 Alpha Reductase(5AR), a necessary enzyme for the formation of DHT.

The main reason behind Pattern Baldness is caused when the 5AR enzyme binds with the hormone Testosterone to form DHT. While Finasteride blocks 1 type of the 5AR enzyme, Dustateride can block both types of the enzyme therefore is technically more effective in stopping DHT production.

Studies show that Finasteride can block 70% of DHT creation while Dustateride can almost block 100%. Most users of this product experience more growth compare to those using Finasteride.

So whats the Side Effects?

Taking Avodart might set off certain side effects quite similar like Propecia. You might experience the effects longer comparatively because of its ability to stay in your body longer than Finasteride. Finasteride usually leaves the body after 1 day but Dustateride can stay in your body for over 200 days.

Some of the most common side effects are

• Breast tenderness

• Ejaculation problems
• Impotency

This drug can also interact with certain medications like

As for men, if you want to try this medication, you should make sure that you have no serious medical symptoms and conditions before taking. Also, it's best to try Propecia first because it's a FDA approved treatment for hair loss.

In my Opinion

For stopping DHT, Avodart proves to be more effective than Propecia. However, I would think that this product is not yet suitable as a long term medication for hair loss. Since this treatment is meant for treating enlarge prostate, people taking this medicine without this condition is exposed to unidentified risks. I would say it?s best to wait till further results from FDA or the further trials before including it in your regimen.
