Adult dose

The recommended dose of this medicine is 1 capsule (0.5mg) once daily. Because exposure to the contents of the capsule may cause irritation of the oropharyngeal mucosa, swallow the capsule whole without chewing or breaking it. This medicine may be taken with or without food. No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with renal impairment or elderly patients. The recommended dose of this medicine in patients with hepatic impairment has not been established because there are no data on its administration to such patients.

This medication can be absorbed through the skin, so women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle this medication directly. If the capsule is broken and the medication contacts the skin, it should be washed off immediately with clean water and soap. This medication should not be used in children under 18 years of age, as safety and efficacy have not been established. Do not take this medication if you are allergic to it or its ingredients, or if you have hypersensitivity to 5α-reductase inhibitors. Adult men who are planning to conceive should take this medication with caution after consulting a physician, as it may affect reproductive ability. Caution is also needed for patients with severe urinary problems or poor liver function. Since this medication is metabolized in the liver, taking it with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the drug concentration. During treatment with this medication, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and ejaculation disorders may occur, and these side effects may persist even after discontinuation. Rarely, skin rashes, allergic reactions, hair loss, and breast pain have been reported, so consult a physician if abnormal symptoms occur. This medication may lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in blood tests, so consider the duration of use when interpreting PSA test results. PSA levels will return to baseline within 6 months after discontinuation. During treatment, avoid blood donation, and wait at least 6 months after the last dose before donating blood. Additionally, this medication is contraindicated in women and should not be taken by breastfeeding women. In case of overdose, there are no specific antidotes, so appropriate treatment should be provided based on symptoms, and note that the drug's half-life is long and may remain in the body for an extended period. Finally, store this medication in a safe place out of reach of children, and keep it in the original container to prevent misuse or degradation of quality.
