OHM PHARMA LAB. (PARADIGM) - PROS-D TAB.

Pros-D contains Dutasteride 0.5 mg in tablet form and belongs to a group of medicines called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

It 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. 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.

It is also used to treat male pattern baldness.

How does it work?

Pros-D belongs to the group of medicines, called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. They act by reducing the size of the prostate gland in men. It is used in the treatment and control of benign enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia – BPH). It helps improve urinary flow and may also reduce your need for prostate surgery later on.

How to take Pros-D?

The recommended dose is one capsule (0.5 mg) taken once a day. Swallow the capsules whole with water. Do not chew or break open the capsule. Contact with the contents of the capsules may make your mouth or throat sore. Pros-D is a long-term treatment. Some men notice an early improvement in their symptoms. However, others may need to take this medicine for 6 months or more before it begins to have an effect. Keep taking it for as long as your doctor tells you.
