research Is Dutasteride a Therapeutic Alternative for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?
Dutasteride, usually used for prostate issues and hair loss, could potentially treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) due to its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, but more testing is needed.
