Duodart is a high-performance, combination medication specifically engineered for the intensive management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. It contains two powerful active ingredients: Dutasteride (0.5mg) and Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (0.4mg). This dual-pathway approach works by both shrinking the physical size of the prostate and relaxing the muscles of the bladder and prostate. This provides a clinical-grade solution for rapidly improving urine flow and reducing the long-term risk of acute urinary retention or the need for prostate surgery.
Product Type: Combination BPH Therapy (5-alpha Reductase Inhibitor + Alpha-Blocker)
Active Ingredients: Dutasteride (0.5mg) + Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (0.4mg)
Manufacturer: GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) — Quality-Assured Global Standard
Pack Size: 30 Capsules (Bottle)
Route: Oral
Availability: Strictly Prescription Required (POM) — Requires clinical diagnosis
Suitable For: Adult men with moderate-to-severe symptoms of an enlarged prostate
Duodart is the primary clinical choice for comprehensive prostate management:
Symptom Relief: Rapidly improving urinary symptoms such as weak stream, hesitancy, dribbling, and frequent nighttime urination (nocturia).
Prostate Shrinkage: Reducing the actual volume of the prostate gland over time (via Dutasteride).
Flow Improvement: Relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck to make urination easier (via Tamsulosin).
Risk Reduction: Lowering the clinical chances of complete "urinary blockage" (acute urinary retention) and the eventual need for surgical intervention (TURP).
Women & Children: Duodart should NEVER be handled or taken by women, children, or adolescents. Dutasteride can be absorbed through the skin and may cause birth defects in a male fetus. If a pregnant woman comes into contact with a leaking capsule, the area should be washed immediately with soap and water. Blood Donation: Do not donate blood while taking Duodart and for at least 6 months after your last dose to prevent the medicine from being given to a pregnant woman. Postural Hypotension: You may feel dizzy or faint when standing up quickly, especially when first starting treatment. Eye Surgery: If you are planning cataract or glaucoma surgery, inform your eye surgeon that you are taking Duodart, as it can cause "Floppy Iris Syndrome." Prostate Cancer Screening: Duodart lowers PSA levels by approximately 50%. Your doctor must account for this when interpreting PSA blood test results for cancer screening.
For maximum efficacy, Duodart must be taken consistently at the same time each day to maintain the 24-hour muscle-relaxing effect.
Standard Dosage:
Adult Men: Typically one (1) capsule daily.
Application Tips:
The "30-Minute" Rule: Take your capsule approximately 30 minutes after the same meal every day (usually breakfast or dinner).
Swallow Whole: Do not chew or open the capsule. The contents can irritate the lining of your mouth and throat.
Consistency: While Tamsulosin starts working within days, the shrinking effect of Dutasteride can take 3 to 6 months to reach its full clinical potential. Do not stop treatment early.
Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can increase the risk of dizziness and low blood pressure while on this medication.
Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and nasal congestion. Some men may experience sexual side effects, such as decreased libido (sex drive), difficulty achieving an erection, or changes in ejaculation (e.g., retrograde ejaculation). Most of these symptoms are manageable, but you should discuss any persistent concerns with your doctor or pharmacist at Sanlive. If you experience a painful, prolonged erection (priapism), seek emergency medical care immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from direct moisture and sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed, as the capsules are sensitive to humidity. Keep out of reach of children and away from any contact with women of childbearing age.
Q: Why are there "Two" medicines in one capsule?
A: BPH has two components: a "static" component (the size of the prostate) and a "dynamic" component (muscle tension). Duodart treats both at once, which is clinically more effective than taking either medicine alone.
Q: Will it "Cure" my prostate issues?
A: It manages the condition and prevents it from getting worse. Most men need to take Duodart long-term to maintain the benefits and keep the prostate from re-enlarging.
Q: Can I take it with "Blood Pressure" meds?
A: Since Duodart can also lower blood pressure slightly, your doctor may need to adjust your other heart medications. Always provide a full list of your current meds to Sanlive Pharmacy.
Q: Does it affect "Fertility"?
A: Dutasteride can affect sperm count and movement. If you are planning to father a child, consult your specialist before starting Duodart.
