Dutas Capsule

Dutas Capsule is a medicine used to manage benign prostatic hyperplasia, a condition where the prostate gland enlarges in men. By gradually reducing the size of the prostate, it helps relieve urinary problems such as pain, difficulty in starting or stopping urination, and weak urine flow.

This capsule is taken orally, with or without food. The treatment usually continues for several months to achieve the desired results, so it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and complete the full course of therapy.

Precautions and Side Effects

Some individuals may experience changes in sexual function, such as reduced libido, difficulty with ejaculation, or erectile issues. Men may also notice breast tenderness or enlargement. If these effects are bothersome, consulting your doctor is recommended.

It is advised to avoid donating blood for at least six months after the last dose. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions or previous allergic reactions to medications before starting this treatment. Dutas Capsule is intended only for use in men and should not be used by women.

Uses

Dutas Capsule is primarily prescribed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men.

Benefits

This medicine gradually reduces the size of an enlarged prostate, which can relieve pressure on the urethra and improve urinary symptoms. Over time, it lowers the risk of urinary retention and may reduce the need for surgical intervention, improving overall quality of life.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and tend to improve as the body adjusts to the medicine. Contact your doctor if side effects continue or cause concern. Common reactions may include breast tenderness, erectile difficulties, reduced sexual desire, ejaculation issues, and male breast enlargement.

How to Take It

Take Dutas Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at the same time every day helps maintain its effectiveness.

How It Works

Dutas Capsule belongs to a class of drugs called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. It blocks the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into a hormone that contributes to prostate growth. By doing so, it gradually shrinks the prostate and eases urinary difficulties.
