Dutasteride (Avodart) Warning: Problems with ED, Glucose metabolism, lipid profiles, metabolic function

Our findings suggest that long-term dutasteride therapy produces worsening of ED, reduced T levels and increased glucose, HbA_1c and alters lipid profiles, suggesting induced imbalance in metabolic function. We strongly recommend that physicians discuss with their patients these potential serious adverse effects of long-term dutasteride therapy prior to instituting this form of treatment.
