Trouble going? AVODART® can help improve urinary symptoms.
For men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and an enlarged prostate, AVODART® can help treat their symptoms. Over time, AVODART® can shrink the prostate. If left untreated, the prostate may continue to grow, and in some men lead to worsening urinary symptoms.
Benefits
Benefits of AVODART® can include:
- Improvement of urinary symptoms
- Shrinking the size of the prostate over time
- Reducing the risk of developing acute urinary retention (AUR), the sudden inability to urinate
- Reducing the risk of needing surgery for an enlarged prostate
If you have BPH, talk to your doctor about improving your symptoms and shrinking your prostate and ask if AVODART® is right for you.
