Avodart / Dutasteroid
We had a discussion about
Avodart
and he said he would consider a prescription if I could show him persuasive studies. The following 5 are the best I could find. Does anyone have a favorite study that helped them convince their MD to prescribe
Avodart
?

I know there are oral meds out there such as
avodart
. Anyways, when I got home after the scope, I was not able to urinate. I rushed myself to ER and they put a catheter. it's discomforting but I'll take it in emptying my bladder. God bless you all. Nick

High intratumoral dihydrotestosterone is associated with antiandrogen resistance in VCaP prostate cancer xenografts in castrated mice
However, from what I know,
Avodart
will inhibit the final step that results in DHT. How often is Enzalutamide [Xtandi] resistance due to intratumor DHT? I don't know, but
Avodart
is an inexpensive safety play.

After Active Surveillance since 2013, time to explore treatment options
PSA under
Avodart
had been running around 2.0 since 2014. Had a follow-up biopsy in 2014, 18 core, was negative, but received a severe infection, prostatitis from it. Almost went sepsis, because they had me on CIPRO, and the e-coli infection was resistant to fluoroquinolones.

Questions for 2nd Meeting with MO tomorrow about reaction to 2 months on Orgovyx and Zytiga
They said the size of my prostate even after 12 years of
Avodart
precludes me having brachytherapy. RO and MO said they can treat me with “ curative intent “ as shown in STAMPEDE trial.

Impact of Dutasteride on PSA Kinetics and Time to Progression in Men with PSA-only Recurrent Prostate Cancer - medRxiv - pre-pub May 5, 2021
I know we have some members who will vouch for the effectiveness of
Avodart
in managing their own disease state.

Darolutamide & Simvastatin?
Another escape pathway is the manufacture of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) via the alternate pathway that does not require testosterone,
Avodart
will inhibit that.

No adverse effect from the covid vaccine to my PSA
FYI, apart from statins,
Avodart
and a long list of supplements I am not under any treatment.

Side effect comparisons: Adovart vs Lupron
I have not had
Avodart
but might consider it down the road. My main complaints about Lupron include: decreased metabolism leading to obesity, loss of muscle mass, loss of bone density, fatigue and lethargy.

Eleven Years Updates. Starting EstroGel.
Again slow rise and I off and on used
Avodart
and Casadox during the last three years. Had two 68 GL PSMA in the last three years which came out negative. Now I am planning to start EstroGel therapy. Had been closely monitoring the progress of some of the esteemed members who are on this group.

George71 in reply to kaptank neither
Avodart
or finasteride are blocking the cells from getting testosterone -- nor are they blocking you from making testosterone -- they only keep you from converting testosterone to DHT. Kaptank: I don't know the answer and cannot find it in the literature.

Avodart mimicking herbs
I see that a lot of members here are taking
Avodart
to reduce DHT level (5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) and since it is hard to get this medication without a prescription, I searched for herbal replacement such as: 1) Pumpkin Seed 2) Saw Palmetto 3) Green Tea 4) Giant Dodder 5) Reishi mushroom 6) Fatty
