Uses

indications

Dryches are indicated in the following cases:

  • Symptomatic symptom treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BHP).
  • Pharmacy

    Pharmacological group: 5-alpha-Reductase inhibitors

    dutasteride is a dual inhibitor of 5 alpha-Reductase. Dutasteride inhibits Isoenzyme 5 alpha-Reductase both Type 1 and Type 2 are enzymes responsible for converting testosteron into dihydrotestosteron (DHT). DHT is Androgen that plays the main role in the increase in prostate tissue.

    Pharmacokinetics

    absorption

    After taking the single dose of 0.5 mg, the peak concentration of the dutasteride plasma appears after 1 to 3 hours. Dutasteride's bioavailability is not affected by food.

    Distribution

    dutasteride has a large distribution (300 to 500L) and is highly connected to plasma proteins (> 99.5%).

    Metabolism

    dutasterid metabolizes many in vivo. In vitro, dutasterid metabolized by CYP 3A4 and 3A5 into three Monohydroxylate metabolites and a dihydroxylate metabolic.

    Elimination

    After taking dutasterids 0.5 mg/day to equilibrium, from 1 - 15.4% (average 5.4%) The dose is excreted in feces in a constant form. The rest is excreted in feces in the form of 4 main metabolites accounting for 39%, 21%, 7%and 7%of metabolites and 6 auxiliary metabolites (each accounts for

    How to use

    dutasterid can be used alone or in combination with alpha tamsulosin.

    Should swallow whole with water, do not chew because it can irritate the esophageal mucus. Can use the same or not with food

    Dosage

    Adults (including the elderly)

    Dutasterid's recommended dose is 1 tablet (0.5 mg) x 1 time/day. Although it can be improved in the early stages of treatment, it takes 6 months before the treatment will be met. No need to adjust the dose in the elderly.

    Patients with renal failure

    No dose adjustment for patients with renal failure.

    Patients with liver failure

    Should be cautious when used in patients with mild to moderate liver failure. Contraindicated for patients with severe liver failure.

    Note: The above dose is for reference only. Specific dosage depends on the condition and level of progression of the disease. For a suitable dose, you need to consult a doctor or medical specialist.

    What to do when using overdose? In clinical studies, when the patient is used by 5 mg daily for 6 months, there is no more unwanted effect other than the unwanted effects that have been encountered at 0.5 mg treatment.

    Because there is no specific antidote for dutasteride, in case of an overdose suspected, symptomatic treatment should be conducted and use appropriate support measures.

    What to do when forgetting 1 dose?

    Not recorded.

    Side Effects

    When using Dryches, you may experience unwanted effects (ADR).

    Common, ADR> 1/100

  • Genital and mammary glands: impotence, change (decrease) of libido, erectile dysfunction, mammary disorders.
  • Uncommon, 1/1000

  • Skin and subcutaneous tissue: Hair loss (mainly on the body), hair.
  • Heart: heart failure.

    Instructions on how to handle ADR

    When experiencing side effects of the drug, it is necessary to stop using and notify the doctor or go to the nearest medical facility for timely treatment.

    Warnings

    Before using the drug you need to read the instructions carefully and refer to the information below.

    contraindicated

    Dryches drugs contraindicated in the following cases:

  • Hypersensitivity to dutasterid, other 5-alpha reductase inhibitors or any ingredients of the drug.
  • Women, children and teenagers.
  • Patients with severe liver failure.

    Caution when using

    should carefully assess the benefits and risks before using coordinated treatment due to the ability to increase the risk of unwanted effects (including heart failure) and after considering alternative treatment plans including single therapy.

    heart failure

    The higher rate of heart failure in users combined dutasterid with alpha blockers, mainly tamsulosin, compared to non -combined users, but the rate of heart failure in two groups of patients is low (

    affect prostate -specific antigens (PSA) and prostate cancer detection

    Rectal test as well as other prostate cancer assessments must be performed before the beginning of treatment with dutasterid and periodically.

    Serum PSA concentration is an important part of prostate cancer detection. Dutasterid causes a decrease in serum PSA concentration by about 50%, after 6 months of treatment.

    Set a new PSA level in patients using dutasterid after 6 months of treatment. Recommendations to monitor PSA values ​​regularly afterwards. Any increase in PSA from the lowest value can be a sign of prostate cancer (especially rapid cancer) or do not comply with dutasterid and should be carefully evaluated, even though these values ​​are still in the normal range of men who do not use 5α-Reductase inhibitors. In the interpretation of PSA value in patients using dutasterid, it is advisable to find the previous PSA value when treated with dutasterid to compare.

    Using Dutasterid does not affect the use of PSA to support the diagnosis of prostate cancer after the new level has been established.

    Serum PSA concentration returns to the background level within 6 months after stopping treatment. The ratio of free PSA and PSA whole does not change even under the influence of dutasterid.

    If the free PSA ratio is chosen to support the detection of prostate cancer in men who are using dutasterid, no need to adjust this value.

    Prostate and fast growing tumor

    In a study, the rate of prostate cancer Gleason 8 - 10 in men using dutasterids is higher than that of placebo users. The relationship between dutasterid and prostate cancer is unclear rapidly. The risk of prostate cancer should be assessed in men who use dutasterid regularly, including PSA tests.

    Hepatic failure

    There is no study using dutasterid in patients with liver disease. Should be cautious when using dutasterid for patients with mild to medium liver failure.

    Breast cancer

    Breast cancer has been reported in men using dutasterid. The patient should promptly report any change in the breast tissue such as tumor or nipples. It is unclear whether there is a causal relationship between long -term dutasteride and breast cancer in men.

    Evaluation of other urinary diseases

    Before the beginning of treatment with Dutasterid, other urinary diseases should be considered the same symptoms. Moreover, benign prostate hyperplasia can occur simultaneously with prostate cancer.

    Blood donation

    Men treat dutasterids should not donate blood for at least 6 months after the last dose. This is to prevent the reception of dutasterids in pregnant women through the path of blood transfusion.

    Cautious excipients

    Lactose -containing drugs, patients with rare genetic diseases galactose, lactase deficiency or glucose - galactose absorption disorders should not use this drug. The drug contains poly sorbate 80 can cause allergies and castor oil can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea.

    The ability to drive and operate machinery

    Based on Dutasteride's pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetical properties, Dutasteride treatment does not affect the ability to drive or operate machinery.

    Pregnancy

    as well as other 5α-Reductase inhibitors, dutasterid inhibits the conversion of testosteron into dihydrotestosteron and maybe, if used in pregnant women, will inhibit the development of external genital organs of the fetus. A small amount of dutasterid can be found in semen in subjects using 0.5 mg of dutasterid/day. It is unclear whether the male fetus has unwanted effects if the mother is exposed to the semen of the person being treated with dutasterid or not (the highest risk in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy). Contraindications for women.

    As well as other 5α-Reductase inhibitors, when the patient's partner is pregnant or may be pregnant, it is recommended that patients avoid the partner exposed to semen by using condoms.

    Reproduction

    Dutasterid is reported to affect semen (reducing sperm, semen volume and sperm movement) in healthy men. It is impossible to rule out the possibility of drugs that affect the fertility of men.

    Breastfeeding period

    It is unknown whether dutasteride will excrete in breast milk.

    Interactive drug

    The drug can cause an increase in PSA level.

    The influence of other drugs on Dutasterid's pharmacokinetics

    Used with CYP3A4 and/or P-Glycoprotein inhibitors

    dutasterid excreted mainly through metabolic, catalyst by CYP3A4 and 3. No official interactive studies with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors have been conducted. However, the serum concentration of dutasterid increases when used with Verapamil (medium inhibitors CYP3A4) or Diltiazem (P-Glycoprotein inhibitors).

    Long-term use dutasterid with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as ritonavir, indinavir, nefazodon, iTraconazole, oral ketoconazole) may increase serum dutasteride concentration, but often do not increase the inhibition effect of 5α-Reductase. However, it is advisable to consider reducing the frequency of using dutasterid if it is unwanted. It should be noted that in the case of enzyme inhibition, long selling time may be longer and need more than 6 months of treatment simultaneously before achieving a new stable state.

    Use 12 g of Colestyramin 1 hour after using a single dose of Dutasterid 5 mg does not affect dynamic pharmacokinetics of dutasterid.

    The effect of dutasterid on the pharmacokinetics of other drugs

    dutasterid does not affect the pharmacokinetics of warfarin or digoxin. This shows that dutasterid does not inhibit/touch CYP2C9 or P-Glycoprotein transportation. In vitro research shows that Dutasterid does not inhibit the enzyme CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2E1, CYP2C8, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2B6 or CYP3A4.

    In vitro, Dutasterids are not metabolized through CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2E1, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2B6 and CYP2D6.

    dutasterid does not cause pharmacokinetic interaction with tamsulosin or terazosin.

    Storage

    Store in a dry place, avoid moisture, avoid direct light.
