Avolve is the European brand name for Dutasteride, an oral medicine made by GlaxoSmithKline for treating symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. The active compound in Avolve, Dutasteride, has the added benefit of treating genetic male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of the head) and the mid-scalp area. Dutasteride is chemically similar to Finasteride, the active compound in Propecia. Avolve is also known by its US brand name, Avodart.
