Dutasteride / Tamsulosin
Generic alternative to Jalyn
Dutasteride/tamsulosin is a combination medication used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlarged prostate gland. Dutasteride belongs to a class of medications known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, which work by reducing the size of the prostate gland. Tamsulosin belongs to the alpha-blockers class of drugs, which helps to relax the muscles in the prostate and the bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
How is this medication used?
This medication is typically taken once a day, about 30 minutes after the same meal each day. The capsules should be swallowed whole and not chewed or opened, to avoid contact with the mouth or skin, as the contents can potentially cause irritation.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, ejaculation disorders, and decreased libido. Less common but more serious side effects may include severe dizziness or fainting, vision changes, prolonged erection (priapism), and signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching/swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
What are the potential interactions?
Dutasteride/tamsulosin can interact with other medications that affect blood pressure, including PDE5 inhibitors used for erectile dysfunction, other alpha-blockers, and medications like warfarin. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking before starting dutasteride/tamsulosin.
