Has Dutasteride been FDA approved in South Korea?

Question

I have heard that the dutasteride has been Korea FDA approved. however, I was wondering if the leaflet of the drug contains clear indication for this purpose of if the drug is taken off-label for this purpose in that country. In short, is the leaflet mentioning that exactly ? Thanks in advance.

Dutasteride is a drug that is prescribed for prostatic indications. It is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that also works in the scalp to prevent the gradual miniaturization of hair follicles in male patients. It is FDA-approved in the United States for the indication of prostatic disease.. In my opinion, Dutasteride is an excellent drug for hair indications. Whether it is approved in Korea or not,it is a valuable addition to any treatment plan for male pattern hair loss.PRPHAIRMD.COM
