度他雄胺副作用是怎样的,两天吃一次可以吗？

Dutasteride was developed by the British company GlaxoSmithKline. It is also called Dunasteride, Dutasteride, Avodart, and Duagen. It is mainly used for the treatment of patients with prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can improve BPH symptoms for a long time and reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. In addition, it can also be used for male pattern baldness, seborrheic alopecia, and hereditary alopecia (women and children should not take it). So, what are the side effects of dutasteride? Is it okay to take it once every two days?

What are the side effects of Dutasteride?

Dutasteride was launched in the United States and the European Union in early 2003, and in China in 2011. Although the treatment effect is remarkable, it also has side effects. Gynecomastia (including breast enlargement, breast tenderness), impotence, ejaculation disorders and reduced sexual desire are common side effects of dutasteride. However, the patient's constitution and condition are different, and the manifestations of side effects are also different.

Is it okay to take Dutasteride once every two days?

It is taken orally, 5 mg each time, once a day. Whether the patient can take it once every two days needs to be taken under the guidance of a doctor based on the actual situation. It is not recommended that patients change the dosage and usage at will to avoid reactions that may affect their condition. Dutasteride should be swallowed whole, not chewed or opened, and may be taken with or without food.

Dutasteride is characterized by its long half-life and rapid onset of action, with most patients experiencing symptom relief within 1 month. Although symptoms may be observed early in treatment, it takes 6 months to achieve treatment. No dose adjustment is required for the elderly.

The above is the side effects of Dutasteride and whether it is okay to take it once every two days. Through the above introduction, I hope that all patients can accurately understand the drug and use it under the guidance of a doctor.
