Dutaheal 0.5 mg is a potent oral treatment for hair loss that blocks 5-alpha reductase enzymes to reduce DHT levels.

Key Features

How does Dutaheal 0.5 mg work?

Dutasteride blocks both the type 1 and type 2 isoenzymes of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. It prevents the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Lowers the tissue and serum DHT concentration that eventually stops the progressive shrinking of hair follicles. It allows hair follicles to return to a normal, healthy growth phase.
