Duodart (combining two drugs – Tamsulosin and Dutasteride) is used in combined therapy of benign prostate hyperplasia.
Medication:
- reduces hyperplasia;
- alleviates its symptoms;
- increases urination rate;
- lowers the possibility of urinary retention.
Duodart treatments often have side effects that affect potency:
- erectile dysfunction;
- erectile dysfunction;
- reduced libido;
- impaired ejaculation;
- gynecomastia.
So the real question is, can Viagra be used with Duodart to neutralise its negative effect?
Consult your doctor before you start using Duodart and Viagra. The combined effect of these drugs can lead to side effects such as:
- lowering blood pressure;
- dizziness and sickness;
- loss of consciousness;
- headache;
- nasal congestion.
These side effects are common to both drugs. However, they may not appear in monotherapy, only if the meds are used together. Please inform your doctor of these effects in case they do not disappear in a few days or will seriously disturb you.
Duodart and Viagra: recommendations for a combined use
Doctors’ recommendations are as follows.
Try not to drive the car and do not work with dangerous mechanisms until you find out exactly how the combination of Duodart and Viagra affects you.
Be careful when standing up from a chair or bed.
Watch your pressure: it should be stable.
You should pause for at least 2 hours between taking the two drugs.
If you take one of these drugs and then decide to add a second one, you may need a dose correction.
Since both drugs can interact with other medicines, you must inform your doctor of all other medications you take simultaneously, including vitamins and herbs.
Keep in mind that some doctors claim that when taking Dutasteride and Tamsulosin should avoid all drugs that treat erection dysfunction (sildenafil, Avanafil, Viagra, Cialis, etc.).
Conclusion
Taking Duodart drug according to clinical studies results in:
- 9% of cases to erectile dysfunction;
- 4% for retrograde ejaculation;
- 4% reduction in libido;
- 3% to ejaculation failure;
- 2% to gynecomastia.
Accordingly, to alleviate these adverse effects, the doctor may prescribe you a simultaneous intake of Viagra.
However, taking Duodart and Viagra together can lead to lower blood pressure and other side effects.
Therefore, blood pressure should be measured more frequently when using these two drugs, and the doctor should be informed of undesirable symptoms. It may be necessary to adjust the dose of any of these drugs.
