Generic Avodart ® - Dutas - Dutasteride 0.5mg - 100 soft caps

Dutasteride is a type of medicine called a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.

Dutasteride works by inhibiting the action of a compound in the body called 5-alpha reductase. This compound is called an enzyme, and is responsible for converting the male hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a more active form of testosterone.

You may see an improvement in your symptoms soon after starting treatment with this medicine, but most men will need to take it for at least six months to see if it helps.

What is it used for?

- Enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia)

Warning!

- Avodart capsules should be swallowed whole, not chewed.

- This medicine does not cause prostate cancer, but prostate cancer can be another cause of an enlarged prostate gland. For this reason, tests for prostate cancer should be carried out before you start treatment with this medicine, and at regular intervals thereafter. One test that can be carried out is a digital rectal examination (DRE). The other is to measure the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in the blood. This medicine can decrease the amount of PSA in the blood by about 50 per cent after six months treatment, even in men who have prostate cancer. Your doctor will take this into account when interpreting the results of any blood tests.

- This medicine has been reported to affect semen characteristics (reduction in sperm count, semen volume, and sperm motility) in healthy men. This means that there is a possiblity that it may therefore reduce your fertility and ability to father a child. If this is a concern to you, you should discuss fertility with your doctor before starting treatment.

- While you are taking this medicine you should use a condom during sex if your sexual partner is pregnant or could become pregnant. This is because the active ingredient of this medicine passes into semen, and could harm the development of a male baby.

- Dutasteride can be absorbed through the skin and for this reason women, children and adolescents should avoid contact with any capsules of this medicine that are leaking. If contact is made with leaking capsules, the contact area should be washed immediately with soap and water.

Use with caution in:

- Mild to moderately decreased liver function

Not to be used in:

- Women
- Children or adolescents under 18 years of age
- Allergy to other 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, eg finasteride
- Severely decreased liver function

This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy.

If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

Side effects:

- Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection (impotence)
- Decreased sex drive
- Ejaculation disorders, such as decreased amount of semen produced or decreased sperm count
- Breast enlargement or tenderness
- Allergic reactions such as rash, itching or localised swelling

How can this medicine affect other medicines?

The following medicines may increase the level of Dutasteride in the blood by interfering with its breakdown by the body:

- Diltiazem
- Indinavir
- Itraconazole
- Ketoconazole taken by mouth
- Nefazodone
- Ritonavir
- Verapamil
