Overview Geripod D 4mg/0.5mg Capsule

Prostaduo 4mg/0.5mg capsules combine two active ingredients to alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult males. This medication eases urinary issues such as frequent urination and difficulty voiding. It does not prevent prostate cancer. Consistent daily dosing at the same time is crucial. Swallow capsules whole; do not crush or chew. Dosage is determined by your physician. Regular use, even when feeling well, maximizes efficacy. Symptom improvement may take up to four weeks; continue consistent use. Report any lack of improvement or worsening symptoms after four weeks. Common side effects include reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, breast tenderness, and gynecomastia. Contact your doctor if these persist or are concerning. Dizziness or drowsiness are also possible, particularly initially. Your physician prescribed this medication because the benefits outweigh potential risks. This medication is contraindicated for women and children. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions, such as low blood pressure, liver or kidney impairment, before starting treatment. This medication may interact with other drugs; disclose all current medications. Condom use during sexual activity and regular blood pressure monitoring may be advised.
