1. WHAT DUTASTERIDE REGIOMEDICA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
DUTASTERIDE REGIOMEDICA IS USED TO TREAT MEN WITH AN ENLARGED PROSTATE
_(benign prostatic _
_hyperplasia)_
- a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland, caused by producing
too much of a
hormone called dihydrotestosterone.
The active ingredient is dutasteride. It belongs to a group of
medicines called 5-alpha reductase
inhibitors.
As the prostate grows, it can lead to urinary problems, such as
difficulty in passing urine and a need to
go to the toilet frequently. It can also cause the flow of the urine
to be slower and less forceful. If left
untreated, there is a risk that your urine flow will be completely
blocked
_(acute urinary retention)_
.
This requires immediate medical treatment. In some situations surgery
is necessary to remove or
reduce the size of the prostate gland. Dutasteride Regiomedica lowers
the production of
dihydrotestosterone, which helps to shrink the prostate and relieve
the symptoms. This will reduce the
risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery.
Dutasteride Regiomedica may also be used with a

POSOLOGY
Adults (including elderly):
The recommended dose of Dutasteride Regiomedica is one capsule (0.5
mg) taken orally once a day.
The capsules should be swallowed whole and not chewed or opened as
contact with the capsule
contents may result in irritation of the oropharyngeal mucosa. The
capsules may be taken with or
without food. Although an improvement may be observed at an early
stage, it can take up to 6 months
before a response to the treatment can be achieved. No dose adjustment
is necessary in the elderly.

The effect of renal impairment on dutasteride pharmacokinetics has not
been studied. No adjustment
in dosage is anticipated for patients with renal impairment (see
section 5.2).

not been studied so caution
should be used in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment
(see sections 4.4 and 5.2). In
patients with severe hepatic impairment, the use of dutasteride is
contraindica
