What is Tamsulosin Hydrochloride, Dutasteride?
Tamsulosin hydrochloride and dutasteride, the active ingredient in Ladurot, is a alpha‑1 adrenergic antagonist / 5‑alpha‑reductase inhibitor presented as an oral tablet formulation for oral use. It treats benign prostatic hyperplasia in adult men by relieving urinary obstruction.
GNH USA supplies Ladurot as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.
What is Tamsulosin Hydrochloride, Dutasteride used for?
Ladurot combines tamsulosin and dutasteride to manage benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and its associated urinary symptoms. - Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): reduces prostate size and relaxes smooth muscle to improve urinary flow. - Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH: alleviates urgency, frequency and nocturia. - Prostate enlargement: decreases dihydrotestosterone‑driven growth, helping to prevent disease progression.
What are the side effects of Tamsulosin Hydrochloride, Dutasteride?
Ladurot may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are grouped by frequency and severity.
Common Side Effects: - Dizziness or light‑headedness. - Abnormal ejaculation or reduced libido. - Headache. - Nasal congestion. - Breast tenderness or enlargement.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, which can complicate cataract surgery. - Severe allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or anaphylaxis. - Marked hypotension leading to fainting.
What precautions apply to Tamsulosin Hydrochloride, Dutasteride?
Before prescribing Ladurot, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures. - Renal or hepatic impairment: monitor liver function and adjust therapy if needed. - History of prostate cancer: evaluate risk‑benefit, as dutasteride may affect tumor markers. - Concurrent antihypertensive therapy: watch for additive blood‑pressure lowering effects. - Known hypersensitivity to tamsulosin, dutasteride or any excipients: avoid use. - Planned cataract surgery: inform surgeon of tamsulosin use due to risk of floppy iris syndrome. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and light.
What does Tamsulosin Hydrochloride, Dutasteride interact with?
Ladurot can interact with other medicines; some require avoidance while others need close monitoring.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): may raise dutasteride plasma levels. - Other α‑blockers (e.g., prazosin, doxazosin): can cause additive hypotension.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine): may increase tamsulosin exposure. - Additional 5‑alpha‑reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride): may enhance hormonal effects. - Diuretics: may intensify orthostatic blood‑pressure drops.
