Dutamax Tablet (dutasteride) can help slow hair loss and promote hair regrowth in some men by reducing DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone responsible for hair thinning. Serious side effects may include sexual dysfunction, reduced sperm count, breast enlargement, nipple discharge, skin peeling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, and mood changes, so it should only be used under medical supervision.
