Duodart Capsules – Dutasteride Tamsulosin, 30 Capsules
Duodart Capsules is a treatment for men with an enlarged prostate. The active ingredient, dutasteride, works by reducing the amount of dihydrotestosterone in the prostate gland, which helps to shrink the gland and relieve symptoms like urinary frequency and urgency. Duodart Capsules are easy to take and have been shown to be effective in improving urinary flow and quality of life for men with an enlarged prostate.
Duodart is a combination of two different medicines called dutasteride and tamsulosin. Dutasteride belongs to a group of medicines called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and tamsulosin belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-blockers.
What is an enlarged prostate?
Benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is the medical term to describe an enlarged prostate, a condition that can affect how you pee (urinate).
BPE is common in men aged over 50. It’s not a cancer and it’s not usually a serious threat to health.
Many men worry that having an enlarged prostate means they have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. This is not the case.
The risk of prostate cancer is no greater for men with an enlarged prostate than it is for men without an enlarged prostate.
The prostate is a small gland, located in the pelvis, between the penis and bladder.
If the prostate becomes enlarged, it can place pressure on the bladder and the urethra, which is the tube that urine passes through.
This can affect how you pee and may cause:
- difficulty starting to pee
- a frequent need to pee
- difficulty fully emptying your bladder
In some men, the symptoms are mild and do not need treatment. In others, they can be very troublesome.
The cause of prostate enlargement is unknown, but it’s believed to be linked to hormonal changes as a man gets older.
The balance of hormones in your body changes as you get older and this may cause your prostate gland to grow.
You might have several different tests to find out if you have an enlarged prostate.
How does Duodart work?
Dutasteride lowers the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, which helps to shrink the prostate and relieve the symptoms. This will reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery. Tamsulosin acts by relaxing the muscles in your prostate gland, making it easier to pass urine and rapidly improving your symptoms.

Men taking Duodart should have their PSA tested regularly.
