Overview

Avodart 500mcg Soft Gelatin Capsule is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Dutasteride 500mcg. It is supplied as a capsule and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Avodart 500mcg Soft Gelatin Capsule is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Swallow Avodart 500mcg Soft Gelatin Capsule whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Do not chew or open the capsule, as its contents can irritate the lips, mouth, and throat. Pregnant women, or women who may become pregnant, should avoid handling leaking or broken capsules due to the risk of harm to a male foetus.

Dosage

The usual dose of Avodart 500mcg Soft Gelatin Capsule is one capsule (500mcg) taken once daily. It may take up to 3-6 months of regular use before you notice the full improvement in urinary symptoms, so continue taking it as prescribed even if you don’t notice an immediate difference.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Decreased libido (sex drive)
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement
  • Ejaculation disorders
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Skin rash

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to dutasteride, other 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, or any ingredient in this product
  • Use in women and children – dutasteride is intended for adult men only
  • Severe liver impairment

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as ketoconazole, ritonavir, verapamil) can increase dutasteride blood levels
  • Dutasteride reduces PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels by roughly half after 3-6 months of use, so your doctor will adjust interpretation of PSA blood tests accordingly
  • Inform your doctor of all other medicines you are taking before starting this medicine

Quick Tips

  • Swallow the capsule whole – do not chew, crush, or open it
  • Be patient – it may take several months to notice the full effect on your urinary symptoms
  • Tell any doctor ordering a PSA test that you are taking dutasteride, as it lowers PSA readings
  • Men taking this medicine should not donate blood until at least 6 months after their last dose, to avoid exposing a pregnant blood recipient
