I urinate either not at all or once in the night without any trouble. Should I stop taking Dutas-T? Is it harmful to take it for a long time? ## Dutas T contains Dutasteride, which can cause prostate cancer. Additionally, because Dutas T can mask urinary symptoms, the detection of cancer can be delayed. Please consult with your urologist about this. If the benefits outweigh the side effects, then you can continue with Dutas T. ## I am 67 years old & have been prescribed Dutas t for 6 months, daily one dose at night for treating BPH. Is this tablet a steroid. Dr told me its harmless but from Internet I understand it has high risk of side eff...
