Is it okay to take Dutasteride once a week?

Take one tablet (0.5 mg) orally once a day. It is recommended that patients take the medication safely under the guidance of a doctor. Capsules can be taken with or without food. Because the contents are irritating to the oropharyngeal mucosa, the capsule should be swallowed whole and should not be chewed or opened. No dose adjustment is required for the elderly. The specific dosage of dutasteride should be based on the doctor's medication plan. It is contraindicated in patients with severe liver function impairment. Patients are not recommended to use the drug and adjust the dosage without authorization. Whether it can be used once a week needs to be respected by the doctor.
