Dutas®

Dutas® is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH/enlarged prostate). Its active ingredient Dutasteride shrinks the prostate and reduces the risk of urinary retention caused due to enlarged prostate glands. Taking Dutas® improves the symptoms of BPH, thereby reducing the need for surgery.

Dutasteride

Description

Dutas® is produced by Dr. Reddy's.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (benign prostatic hypertrophy or benign prostatic adenoma) is a noncancerous enlargement of cells in the central portion of the prostate. This squeezes the urethra, reduces the urine flow and makes it difficult for the patient to void his bladder.

BPH symptoms include frequent or urgent need to urinate, nocturia (frequent urinating at night), difficulty starting urination, urinary hesitancy, dribbling at the end of urination, straining while urinating, inability to completely empty the bladder.

Each Dutas® soft gelatin capsule (softgels) contains Dutasteride – an active ingredient, aimed to block the action of both forms (type I and type II) of the enzyme 5α-reductase, that converts the male hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a male sex hormone (androgen) that causes prostate gland growth.

Thus, decreasing levels of DHT in the blood, Dutasteride stops prostate growth, allows prostate to shrink and alleviates difficulties during urination.

Dutas® can be suggested as an off-label treatment of male pattern hair loss (MPHL), also known as androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

DHT, which is also found in hair follicles, is the androgen responsible for hair loss, as it causes hair follicles to miniaturize and atrophy. Dutas® promotes the hair growth and prevents the further hair loss from all areas of the scalp.

Dosage

Dutas® is available in soft gelatin capsules (softgels).

For the treatment of BPH:

Take one softgel orally (by mouth) once a day, with or without food.

You should take the Dutas® softgels at the same time every day.

Take Dutas® daily for at least 6 months or more if necessary before any noticeable results occur.

If Dutas® has not worked for you over a 12 months course then it is unlikely that further treatment will benefit.

Do not stop taking Dutas® suddenly, as any therapeutic benefits will be reversed.

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you want to stop the treatment before time or if you are intended to prolong treatment.

For the treatment of MPHL (off-label):

Take one softgel orally (by mouth) once a day, with or without food.

You should take the Dutas® softgels at the same time every day.

Take Dutas® softgels daily for at least 3 months or more if necessary before any noticeable results occur.

If Dutasteride has not worked for you over a 12 months course then it is unlikely that further treatment will benefit.

Do not stop taking Dutas® capsules suddenly, as any therapeutic benefits will be reversed.

Always consult your Dutas® or pharmacist if you want to stop the treatment before time or if you are intended to prolong treatment.

Missing a dose

If you miss a dose you should take it as soon as you remember about your missing. If it is the time for the next dose you should continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not exceed the doctor's recommended dose.

Overdose

If an overdose occurs and you are feeling unwell, you should seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider immediately.
