Dutasteride 0.5mg Tablets
SKU GME615Product Introduction
Dutasteride reduces androgen-driven prostate enlargement in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. It can improve urinary symptoms and reduce the long-term risk of acute urinary retention in suitable patients.
How to use
Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food. Prostate shrinkage and urinary symptom improvement develop gradually over months; do not crush or chew the tablet.
How it works
Inhibiting both type 1 and type 2 5-alpha-reductase reduces conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, the androgen that promotes prostate growth.
Side effects
Reduced libido, erectile difficulty, ejaculation changes and breast tenderness or enlargement can occur.
Important information
Pregnant people must not handle broken or crushed tablets. Dutasteride lowers PSA, so prostate-screening results need adjusted interpretation and any rising PSA needs assessment.
Uses
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia with an enlarged prostate
Benefits
Can gradually improve urine flow and reduce progression-related urinary complications.
Will urinary flow improve after one dose?
No. Prostate shrinkage and symptom improvement usually take several months.
Is it the same kind of treatment as tamsulosin?
No. Tamsulosin relaxes smooth muscle; dutasteride reduces androgen-driven prostate growth.
Can it prevent or diagnose prostate cancer?
No. Assessment for prostate cancer remains necessary when clinically indicated.
Why tell a laboratory that I take dutasteride?
It changes PSA results and their interpretation.
Can I donate blood during treatment?
Do not donate during treatment or for six months after the last dose.
Can a pregnant person handle a damaged dutasteride tablet?
Avoid contact with broken or crushed tablets. If exposed skin contacts the medicine, wash it promptly with soap and water and obtain advice because dutasteride can harm development of a male fetus.
What should I do if I cannot pass urine?
Acute urinary retention needs urgent medical care.
Should a breast lump or nipple discharge be reported?
Yes. These changes need assessment even though breast tenderness can also occur as an adverse effect.
