Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• Check AVODART, dutasteride, 0.5 mg per capsule, NDC 80725-712-04, oral soft gelatin capsule, actual pack and target market together. Although JALYN contains dutasteride, it is a combination product with tamsulosin; a shared ingredient, similar name or milligram number does not establish self-directed substitution, combination or proportional conversion.
• The label identifies AVODART for symptomatic BPH in men with an enlarged prostate. Shared urinary or prostate wording does not establish that it can be self-combined, substituted or alternated with finasteride, tamsulosin, herbs or another urological product.
• The U.S. label says the soft gelatin capsules should be swallowed whole and not chewed or opened. This is label information for this exact product; if swallowing difficulty, package damage, a similar appearance or someone else's experience raises a question about handling, have a pharmacist or clinician check the actual product first.
• The U.S. label lists pregnancy as a contraindication and gives a specific warning about contact with leaking capsules by women who are or may be pregnant. It is safety information from this U.S. label, not a website handling plan for an actual contact, damaged pack or any individual situation; contact a local pharmacist, clinician or appropriate medical support promptly.
