Flodart Plus Capsule PR – Overview
Flodart Plus Capsule PR combines two medications that work together to manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate in men. It is designed to ease urinary difficulties such as trouble starting urination, weak urine flow, or the frequent urge to urinate. This medicine is not intended for preventing prostate cancer.
It can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take it consistently at the same time each day. Your doctor will recommend the correct dose for you. Consistent use is crucial, even if your symptoms improve, and noticeable effects may take several weeks. If your symptoms do not improve within a month or worsen, contact your doctor promptly.
Possible Side Effects
Some common side effects include reduced sexual desire, erectile difficulties, breast tenderness, or changes in ejaculation. Dizziness or drowsiness may occur, especially when first starting the medicine. While side effects can be concerning, your doctor has determined that the benefits outweigh the risks.
Precautions
Flodart Plus Capsule PR is not suitable for women or children. Inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, liver issues, or kidney problems, as the medication may need adjustment. Share all other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Sexual precautions may be advised if your partner is pregnant or could become pregnant. Limit alcohol consumption as it may intensify dizziness or drowsiness.
Key Benefits
Flodart Plus Capsule PR addresses benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), helping relieve urinary problems caused by prostate enlargement. The combination works in two ways:
-
Dutasteride reduces prostate size by blocking the hormone responsible for growth.
-
Tamsulosin relaxes the muscles of the bladder and prostate, improving urine flow.
These effects may become noticeable in a few weeks, but full benefits may take several months. Adhering to your prescribed schedule ensures optimal results.
