The mechanism of action is that 5-alpha reductase inhibitor medication blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT resulting in lower intraprostatic levels of DHT. This process causes change in epithelial cell of the transition zone. This process leads to inhibition of prostatic growth‚ involution‚ and apoptosis. Eventually‚ prostate volume and progression of
