What is Dutasteride used for?

Dutasteride Farmoz is primarily used to manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Some users may experience side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or breast enlargement. These effects can vary from person to person and may not occur in everyone.

What precautions apply to Dutasteride?

Dutasteride should be handled with care, especially by women and children. It is important to store the medication in a safe place to prevent accidental exposure.

What does Dutasteride interact with?

Dutasteride may interact with other medications, including those metabolized by the liver's cytochrome P450 system.
