Veltride

🌟 Introduction to Veltride (Dutasteride)

Veltride 0.5 mg by Intas Pharmaceuticals is a potent 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Veltride effectively shrinks the prostate gland, alleviating urinary symptoms like hesitancy and frequent urination. Clinical studies show 80% of patients experience improved urine flow within 6 months. Packaged in 10-tablet strips, this generic alternative to Avodart combines affordability with WHO-GMP-certified quality, making it a top choice for long-term BPH management.
