Avoid Avodart during pregnancy. Duotasteride, Avodart’s active ingredient, can cause birth defects in male fetuses. This risk exists even with minimal exposure.
Protecting Yourself and Others
Women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy should not handle Avodart tablets. If a partner is using Avodart, avoid skin-to-skin contact, particularly during application. Men taking Avodart should always wash their hands thoroughly after handling the medication. Inform your doctor immediately if pregnancy occurs while you or your partner are using Avodart.
Disposal and Safe Handling
Dispose of unused Avodart according to your pharmacist’s instructions. Never flush medication down the toilet. Proper disposal protects the environment and prevents accidental ingestion.
