What is Duodart?

Duodart is a once daily prescription capsule for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that affects many men over 50. It combines two medicines that work in different ways, so one capsule replaces two separate pills. For men who would otherwise need both, that means one less thing to remember each day.

Dutasteride 0.5mg

Blocks the conversion of testosterone into DHT, the hormone that drives prostate growth. Over months the prostate gets smaller, which treats the cause of the blockage.

Tamsulosin 0.4mg

An alpha blocker that relaxes the muscle in the prostate and at the bladder neck. It eases the flow within days, while the dutasteride is still working.

Duodart uses

Duodart is registered in Malaysia for men with BPH. Doctors prescribe it to:

  • Ease moderate to severe urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate: a weak or interrupted stream, straining, urgency and getting up at night
  • Lower the long-term risk of acute urinary retention, when you suddenly cannot pass urine
  • Lower the chance of needing prostate surgery

It is usually chosen when the prostate is clearly enlarged and symptoms are bothersome enough that one medicine alone may not be enough. In large clinical trials, taking the two together lowered the risk of symptoms getting worse more than either medicine on its own. Duodart does not treat prostate cancer, erection problems or hair loss.

What to expect on Duodart

The two medicines work on different timelines: one quickly, one slowly. Here is what most men notice.

  1. 1

    First 1 to 2 weeks

    The tamsulosin part relaxes the prostate, so many men notice an easier, stronger flow. Some feel light headed when standing up early on.

  2. 2

    1 to 3 months

    Dutasteride lowers DHT and the prostate starts to shrink. Night-time trips often begin to settle.

  3. 3

    6 months

    The usual point for your doctor to review progress. PSA is now about half its earlier level, which is expected.

  4. 4

    Long term

    Both effects last while you keep taking it daily. Your doctor will check your symptoms and PSA at regular reviews.

How to take Duodart

One capsule after the same meal

Take it about 30 minutes after the same meal every day, such as breakfast. This keeps tamsulosin levels steady and reduces dizziness.

Swallow it whole

Use a glass of water. Do not chew, crush or open the capsule, as the contents can irritate your mouth and throat.

Missed a dose?

Take it after your next meal that day. If a day has passed, skip it. Never take two capsules at once.

Stand up slowly for the first few days, especially at night, until you know how the capsule affects you. Do not take Duodart with another alpha blocker or with Avodart, as it already contains both medicines.

Is Duodart right for you?

Usually suitable for

  • Men with a diagnosed enlarged prostate and moderate to severe urinary symptoms
  • Men whose doctor wants both a quick effect and long-term shrinking
  • Men already taking dutasteride and tamsulosin separately who prefer one capsule

Not suitable, or check first

  • Women and children must not take Duodart
  • Allergy to dutasteride, tamsulosin, soya or peanut (the capsule contains soya lecithin)
  • Fainting or dizziness on standing, low blood pressure, or severe liver or kidney problems
  • Taking strong CYP3A4 blockers such as ketoconazole, or another alpha blocker
  • A high or rising PSA that has not been checked

PSA tests

Duodart roughly halves PSA after 6 months. Tell any doctor checking your PSA that you take it, and have a rising PSA looked into.

Eye surgery

Before cataract or glaucoma surgery, tell the eye doctor you take Duodart, as tamsulosin can affect the iris during the operation.

Leaking capsules and blood donation

Women who are or may be pregnant should avoid touching leaking capsules. Do not donate blood while on Duodart and for 6 months after the last dose.

Duodart side effects

Most men take Duodart without serious problems. Because it contains two medicines, side effects can come from either part: dizziness usually comes from tamsulosin, while sexual changes can come from both. Some ease with time; if any persist or bother you, tell your doctor.

More common

Less or no semen when you ejaculate, lower sex drive, difficulty getting an erection, and dizziness, especially when standing up.

Less common

Breast tenderness or enlargement, a blocked or runny nose, rash, and feeling tired or weak.

See a doctor promptly for

Fainting, a painful erection lasting more than 4 hours, swelling of the face, lips or throat, a severe rash, or a breast lump or nipple discharge.

I trust Hello Doktor more compared to some other platforms I tried before. Previously the other platform i use the doctor was quite rude and delivery also took so long like 2 week plus, but here totally different. Doctor very friendly and professional, explain properly and the service super fast. Delivery also came much quicker within 2 hours. Hope Hello Doktor can maintain this excellent standard 👍

Honestly so impressed with HelloDoctor! I uploaded the prescription I got from Dr. Brian, and the whole process was incredibly smooth, safe, and just super fast. I couldn’t believe it when my order arrived at my doorstep in just 2 hours. The packaging was neat and discreet, and the medicine was exactly what I needed. It saves so much time compared to queuing at a pharmacy. Will definitely be using them again!

My experience with Hello Doktor has been really positive and life changing. I’ve struggled with my heavy weight for years and tried different things, I’ve lost around 8kg so far, which I honestly didn’t expect.. doctors and whatsapp people have been supportive and easy to reach whenever I have questions. Still have more to go, but overall I feel much better and more lighter.

Duodart FAQs, answered by doctors

Written by Dr. Brian Lopez and medically reviewed by Dr. Vijendran Krishnan.

Duodart is a capsule, not a tablet, although many people search for it as a Duodart tablet. Each oblong hard capsule holds a small soft capsule of dutasteride 0.5mg and tiny pellets of tamsulosin 0.4mg. Swallow it whole. Do not chew, crush or open it, because dutasteride can irritate the mouth and throat.

This page is for education and does not replace a consultation. Duodart is a prescription medicine for men with an enlarged prostate. Urinary symptoms can also come from infection, bladder problems or prostate cancer, so have them assessed by a doctor.
