Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility: Dutada must not be taken by women.
Women who are pregnant (or may be) must not handle leaking capsules. Dutasteride is absorbed through the skin and can affect the normal development of a male baby. This is a particular risk in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy.
Use a condom during sexual intercourse. Dutasteride has been found in the semen of men taking Dutada. If the partner is or may be pregnant, the patient must avoid exposing her to the semen.
Dutada has been shown to reduce sperm count, semen volume and sperm movement. Therefore male fertility may be reduced.
The doctor should be contacted for advice if a pregnant woman has come into contact with Dutada.
