If a woman accidentally comes into contact with this  medication from a leaking capsule, wash the area with soap and water  right away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿How should I take &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Take this medication  exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in  larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor.  Take each dose with a full glass of water. &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; can be taken with or without food.  Swallow the &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; capsule whole. Do not chew, crush or break the capsule.  It is important to take &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; regularly to get the most benefit.  Do not stop taking &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; without first talking to your doctor. It may take as long as 3 to 6 months of treatment with &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;before  you notice improvement in your BPH symptoms.  To be sure this medication is helping your condition, your prostate  will need to be checked on a regular basis. Your PSA (prostate-specific  antigen) may also be tested to help detect prostate cancer. It is  important that you not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.  Store &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; at room temperature away from moisture and heat. &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; capsules  may become soft and leaky, or they may stick together if they get too  hot. Do not use any capsule that is cracked or leaking. Call your  pharmacist for instructions on how to safely dispose of a leaking &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; capsule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿What happens if I miss a dose?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for  your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at the next  regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the  missed dose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿What happens if I overdose?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An overdose of &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿What should I avoid while taking &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not donate blood while taking &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and for at least 6 months after your treatment ends. &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; can be carried in the blood and could cause birth defects if a pregnant women receives a transfusion with blood that contains &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; side effects  Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an  allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face,  lips, tongue, or throat.  Other, less serious side effects are more likely to occur, such as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li id="text"&gt;  decreased libido (sex drive);  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="text"&gt;  decreased amount of semen released during sex;  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="text"&gt;  impotence (trouble getting or keeping an erection); or  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="text"&gt;  breast tenderness or enlargement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your  doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially  bothersome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿What other drugs will affect &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Before taking &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following drugs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li id="text"&gt;   HIV medicines such as indinavir (Crixivan), saquinavir (Invirase),  lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra), ritonavir (Norvir), or nelfinavir  (Viracept).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are using any of these drugs, you may not be able to use &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, or you may need dosage adjustments or special tests during treatment.  There may be other drugs not listed that can affect &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter  medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products,  and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new  medication without telling your doctor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿Where can I get more information?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li id="text"&gt;  Your pharmacist has additional information about &lt;a href="http://www.prescriptiondrugs1.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avodart &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;written for health professionals that you may read.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7924872123033546194-1186133369075301556?l=menshealthdrugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menshealthdrugs.blogspot.com/feeds/1186133369075301556/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7924872123033546194&amp;postID=1186133369075301556' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7924872123033546194/posts/default/1186133369075301556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7924872123033546194/posts/default/1186133369075301556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menshealthdrugs.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-is-avodart-avodart-prevents.html' title=''/><author><name>Tanya</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03605004835910186662</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CNuFLEbTBa8/R17sX3y1DvI/AAAAAAAAA7g/6WGtfjR05Oo/s72-c/pill_vial.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
