Paclosin-D Tablet 10's is a medication used to treat an enlarged prostate and may have some side effects related to sexual health.
Sexual Side Effects: This medication contains Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, which can sometimes cause sexual problems such as decreased sex drive (libido), reduced amount of semen or sperm, testicle pain or swelling, and breast tenderness or increased breast size. These effects are generally mild and may improve over time.
Other Side Effects: Common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, and drowsiness.
Precautions: Since Paclosin-D can pass into semen, it is advised to use male contraceptives like condoms if your partner is pregnant. Also, avoid donating blood while on this medication and for six months after stopping it.
If you experience persistent or troubling changes in sexual function or sperm-related issues, it is important to consult a urologist (a specialist in urinary and male reproductive health). They can assess your symptoms and discuss possible alternatives or supportive treatments.
Always talk to your doctor before making any changes to your medication or if you have concerns about side effects.
