D Void
D-Void is an oral medication containing Dutasteride, which is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone primarily responsible for prostate enlargement. Reducing DHT levels helps shrink the enlarged prostate gland.
Dosage by Body Weight
The recommended dose for adult males is 0.5 mg (one capsule) taken orally once daily. Capsules must be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, or opened, as contact with the contents may cause irritation in the mouth or throat. It can be taken with or without food.
