Dutas-T (Dutasteride + Tamsulosin Capsules)

Uses
Dutas-T (Dutasteride/Tamsulosin) contains seperate capsules of Dutasteride 0.5mg and Tamisulosin 0.4mg. Each strip contains 10 capsules of Dutas (Dutasteride 0.5mg) and 10 capsules of Tamisulosin 0.4mg.

Dutas contains Dutasteride, and is used for treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). It is similar with the way that it inhibits DHT. This drug has also been used to treat hairloss (Male Pattern Baldness).

Tamisulosin is used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition can cause difficulty in starting urination, a weak flow of urine, and the need to urinate urgently or more frequently. Dutas-T relaxes the muscle around the prostate, freeing the flow of urine and decreasing urinary symptoms.

Dosage and administration
Take Dutas-T (Dutasteride/Tamsulosin) exactly as directed by your doctor. Take each dose with a full glass of water and swallow the capsules whole. Do not chew, crush or break the capsules. These capsules can be taken with or without food.

Side effects
The side effects include impotence (trouble getting or keeping an erection), a decrease in libido (sex drive), breast enlargement and tenderness (gynecomastia) and a decrease in the amount of semen released during sex. These side effects usually decrease or disappear with continued usage, or after stopping the medication altogether.

Precautions
Do not stop taking Dutas-T (Dutasteride/Tamsulosin) without first talking to your doctor. While some men have fewer problems and symptoms after 3 months of treatment with dutasteride, a treatment period of at least 6 months is usually necessary to see if treatment with dutasteride will be beneficial.
