What precautions apply to Dutasteride?

Dutasteride should be handled with care, especially by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as it can cause birth defects. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping the medication. Always store the medication as directed to maintain its effectiveness.

What does Dutasteride interact with?

Dutasteride may interact with other medications, particularly those metabolized by the liver.
