if i discontinue taking avodart for my enlarged prostate will my psa readings go back to normal?
in general both dutasteride (avodart) and finasteride (formerly trade name of proscar) cause the psa to decrease by about 1/2 after continuous use for about 6 months. results in individual men will vary due to a multitude of factors such as the size of the prostate underlying prostatitis (prostate inflamation) sexual activity (or lack thereof) before the psa test vigorous exercise such as riding a bike before the test and likely other individual factors such as obesity statin use hormonal (testosterone) levels and other factors we have yet to discover.
