Uses of Flo-Dt Tablet
Benefits of Flo-Dt Tablet
In Treatment of Benign prostatic hyperplasia
When your prostate gland becomes enlarged it can cause urinary problems such as difficulty passing urine and a need to go to the toilet frequently or urgently. It can also cause urine flow to be slower. If not treated, there is a risk that your urine flow will be completely blocked. Flo-Dt Tablet is a combination of two medicines: dutasteride and tamsulosin. Dutasteride reduces the size of your prostate by blocking the production of a hormone which causes it to grow. Tamsulosin works by relaxing muscles in the bladder and prostate. Together they can rapidly relieve the symptoms and make it easier for you to urinate. However, it may take up to 6 months to notice the full benefit. Take this medicine exactly as prescribed for maximum benefits.

Can the use of Flo-Dt Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, the use of Flo-Dt Tablet can cause dizziness. Flo-Dt Tablet contains a combination of Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. Tamsulosin can cause a sudden fall in blood pressure while changing posture from lying to sitting or standing (orthostatic hypotension).

It is better to rest for some time and resume once you feel better.
What are the cautions associated with the use of Flo-Dt Tablet?
The use of Flo-Dt Tablet is considered to be harmful for men under the age of 18 years as it may affect the normal development of the male reproductive tract. The use of this medicine is also considered to be harmful for patients with any known allergy to any of the components of this medicine and in women who are pregnant or of childbearing potential. Along with that, it is important to keep in mind that pregnant women should not even handle Flo-Dt Tablet as the medicine may get absorbed through the skin and cause harm to the fetus.
Is Flo-Dt Tablet safe?
Flo-Dt Tablet is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Take it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.
Can I take a higher than the recommended dose of this medicine?
No, Flo-Dt Tablet should be taken in the recommended dose only. An overdose of Flo-Dt Tablet can increase the risks of side effects. Always take your medicines according to the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor.
What is the storage condition for Flo-Dt Tablet?

Can the use of Flo-Dt Tablet cause ejaculation problems?
Retrograde ejaculation (semen does not leave the body, instead goes into the bladder) and ejaculation failure (reduced or absent ejaculation volume) are common problems associated with the use of Flo-Dt Tablet. But this is harmless and more commonly seen when the medicine is consumed in high doses.
Can the use of Flo-Dt Tablet cause priapism (persistent painful penile erection unrelated to sexual activity)?
Yes, the use of Flo-Dt Tablet can cause priapism (painful penile erection). It is a serious but rare side effect associated with the use of this medicine. However, in some cases, it can lead to permanent impotence if not treated immediately.
Can the use of Flo-Dt Tablet have any impact on my cataract surgery?
Use of Flo-Dt Tablet can cause floppy eye syndrome. In this, the muscles of the iris become floppy and the pupil constricts unexpectedly during cataract surgery. So, when the eye surgeon actually needs a dilated pupil, the pupil constricts unexpectedly. This restricts the field of surgery because of which the surgical outcomes can get affected. Inform your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if you are taking this medicine or in case you have used this medicine in the last 9 months.
Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
Simple lifestyle changes can help you manage your prostate symptoms better. Try to urinate when you first get the urge. However, take care not to strain or push while urinating. Avoid drinking fluids (especially alcohol, caffeine) a few hours before bedtime or going out. You should also avoid medicines which tend to worsen urinary symptoms like some over-the-counter medicines for cold and cough.
