Combodart

Combodart is a medicine used to treat men with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). It combines two active ingredients, one that shrinks the prostate over time and another that relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow. This dual action makes Combodart a strong choice for reducing urinary problems associated with prostate enlargement, such as weak stream, frequent urination, and difficulty starting or stopping.

If you want an effective BPH treatment that supports better urinary flow and reduces prostate-related urinary symptoms, Combodart capsules are a reliable option. You can order Combodart capsules online from Pharmacy Planet after a short and free consultation reviewed by one of our UK prescribers.

Combodart capsules are a combination medicine containing two drugs: a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (that reduces prostate size over time) and an alpha-blocker (that relaxes prostate and bladder neck muscles). This combination is used when an enlarged prostate (BPH) leads to consistent urinary symptoms and when single-drug therapy may not be enough. Because the prostate wraps around the urethra, enlargement can press on the urethra and narrow the urine passage. Combodart works both to reduce that pressure (by shrinking the prostate) and to relax muscle tone (to improve flow).

Combodart capsules are commonly prescribed to manage symptoms including frequent need to urinate, weak or slow urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping urination, urgency or frequent night-time urination, and reducing risk of urinary retention or surgery due to prostate enlargement.

Combodart works via two complementary mechanisms. For prostate shrinkage, one active component blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for prostate growth. Lower DHT leads to gradual shrinking of the prostate gland. For muscle relaxation, the other active ingredient relaxes smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. This reduces resistance around the urethra and allows urine to flow more easily.

Together, these effects relieve obstruction, improve urine flow, reduce urinary frequency and lower the risk of acute urinary retention or the need for prostate surgery.

Take Combodart exactly as directed by your prescriber. Swallow one capsule daily about 30 minutes after the same meal each day. Swallow the capsule whole with water, and do not chew or open it, as the contents can irritate your mouth or throat.

Useful Tips for Best Results:

• Take Combodart at the same time each day.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it 30 minutes after a meal to help absorption.
• Do not skip doses, as long-term use is often needed for full benefits.
• If you miss a dose, skip it and take the next dose at the usual time. Do not double the dose.

Combodart is generally suitable for men diagnosed with moderate to severe benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It may help those experiencing urinary symptoms such as weak flow, frequent urination or sudden urgency, and can be an option for men at risk of urinary retention or needing long-term prostate management.

Combodart is not appropriate for women, children or anyone under 18. It is also unsuitable for individuals allergic to dutasteride, tamsulosin or any of the capsule ingredients. Men with severe liver disease or a history of low blood pressure causing dizziness or fainting should avoid it as tamsulosin can further lower blood pressure.

Like all medicines, Combodart can cause side effects, but not everyone gets them.

Common Side Effects (may affect >1 in 10 men):

• Impotence (difficulty getting or keeping an erection)
• Decreased sexual drive (libido)
• Difficulty with ejaculation or decreased semen volume
• Breast enlargement or tenderness (gynaecomastia)
• Dizziness, especially when standing up quickly

Uncommon Side Effects (may affect ≤1 in 100):

• Drop in blood pressure on standing, palpitations or irregular heartbeat, digestive issues (nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, stomach discomfort), weakness or tiredness, nasal congestion or runny/blocked nose

Rare But Serious Side Effects — Seek Medical Help Immediately:

• Swelling of face, lips, tongue, throat or limbs (angioedema)
• Severe dizziness or fainting
• Persistent or painful erection (priapism)
• Serious skin reactions (rash, blisters, peeling skin)

Combodart can interact with some medicines. Tell your prescriber about everything you are taking before starting treatment. Extra care is needed with medicines that lower blood pressure (including other alpha-blockers), strong liver enzyme inhibitors (some antifungals/antibiotics), and medicines for erectile dysfunction (can increase light-headedness). Also mention any long-term heart medicines, treatments affecting liver function, and any new medicines started during treatment.
