Product Introduction
Dutasteride 0.5mg is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor for benign prostatic enlargement. It reduces the hormonal stimulus for prostate growth and works gradually over months.
How to use
Swallow the capsule whole with water, with or without food. Do not open or chew because the contents can irritate the mouth and throat. Consistent daily use is needed for a gradual effect.
How it works
Dutasteride inhibits type 1 and type 2 5-alpha-reductase, reducing conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone and gradually reducing prostate volume.
Side effects
Reduced libido, erectile difficulty, ejaculation changes and breast tenderness or enlargement can occur.
Important information
Dutasteride lowers PSA levels, so prostate-test results must be interpreted in the context of treatment. Pregnant people should not handle leaking capsules. A breast lump or nipple discharge needs assessment.
Uses
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement of the prostate).
Benefits
Reducing prostate size can improve urine flow and lower the longer-term risk of urinary retention or prostate surgery.
Will it work as quickly as tamsulosin?
No. Alpha blockers can relieve symptoms more quickly, while dutasteride changes prostate size over several months.
Does a lower PSA exclude prostate cancer?
No. Treatment can lower PSA even when another prostate condition is present. A rising PSA during treatment needs evaluation.
Can I donate blood during treatment?
Blood donation should be avoided during treatment and for 6 months after the last dose to prevent exposure of a pregnant recipient.
Can symptoms return if treatment is stopped?
The hormonal effect gradually wears off, allowing prostate growth and urinary symptoms to return.
