Product Description

Product Name: Duodart Capsule 0.5mg/0.4mg

Product Form: Capsule

Pack Size: 30's

Manufactured By: GSK

Used For:

  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Duodart is a combination of two active ingredients, Dutasteride (0.5mg) and Tamsulosin (0.4mg), used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). It helps in relieving urinary symptoms, improving urine flow, and reducing the need for surgery in men with an enlarged prostate.
    • Dutasteride: Reduces prostate size by inhibiting the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes prostate growth.
    • Tamsulosin: Relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.

Side Effects:

  • Common Side Effects: Include dizziness, decreased libido, ejaculation disorders, impotence, and breast tenderness or enlargement.
  • Less Common Side Effects: Some men may experience headache, back pain, or runny nose.

Precautions:

  • Liver Function: Patients with liver disease should use Duodart cautiously, as it may affect liver function.
  • Orthostatic Hypotension: Tamsulosin can cause a drop in blood pressure when standing up, leading to dizziness or fainting. Be cautious when rising from a sitting or lying position.
  • Pregnancy: Duodart should not be handled by women, especially if pregnant, as Dutasteride can be absorbed through the skin and may harm a male fetus.
  • Routine Monitoring: PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) levels should be regularly monitored during treatment.
