Dutas T

Product Overview

Dutas T is a medication containing the active ingredients Tamsulosin (0.4mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg) in a prolonged-release capsule form. This combination medication is specifically designed to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. Dutas T works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. It also reduces the size of the prostate gland, thereby improving urinary symptoms associated with BPH.

Uses

Dutas T is primarily used to alleviate symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), including difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, frequent urination, and the urge to urinate urgently or frequently during the day and night. By targeting both the symptoms and the underlying cause of BPH, Dutas T helps improve urinary function and quality of life in men with this condition.

How to Use

Take Dutas T capsules orally once daily, preferably with a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Swallow the capsules whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking them. It is essential to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Do not stop taking Dutas T without consulting your healthcare provider, even if you start feeling better.

How it Works

Dutas T combines two active ingredients, Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, to provide comprehensive relief from BPH symptoms. Tamsulosin belongs to a class of medications called alpha-blockers, which work by relaxing the muscles in the prostate gland and bladder neck, facilitating urine flow and relieving urinary symptoms. Dutasteride, on the other hand, inhibits the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate enlargement. By reducing DHT levels, Dutasteride helps shrink the prostate gland, further improving urinary symptoms associated with BPH.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Dutas T is one capsule (Tamsulosin 0.4mg + Dutasteride 0.5mg) taken orally once daily, preferably at the same time each day. It is important to take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor to achieve optimal results. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or duration of treatment without consulting your healthcare provider.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Dutas T may include dizziness, headache, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, and sexual dysfunction (such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction). These side effects are usually mild and transient, but if they persist or worsen, contact your doctor for further evaluation.

Common Concerns

Common concerns associated with Dutas T therapy include an increased risk of orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing), which may cause dizziness or fainting, especially when rising from a sitting or lying position. It is essential to rise slowly to minimize this risk, particularly when initiating treatment or increasing the dose.

Warnings

Dutas T should be used with caution in patients with a history of orthostatic hypotension, liver disease, or kidney disease. It may also increase the risk of priapism (a prolonged and painful erection) in some men. If you experience any unusual or persistent side effects while taking Dutas T, seek medical attention promptly.

Storage Information

Store Dutas T capsules at room temperature away from light and moisture. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not store Dutas T in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink, where it may be exposed to moisture or heat. Proper storage ensures the stability and effectiveness of the medication.
