Medical Information

Eviprostat is a plant-based preparation used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Correct administration, management of missed doses, and course management are essential to ensure efficacy and medication safety.

1. Dosage and Administration Timing

1. Usual Dose

The usual recommended adult dose is 1 tablet three times daily. Please follow the physician's prescription or the package insert for the specific dose, and do not increase or decrease it on your own.

2. Take with Meals or Immediately After Meals

It is recommended to take the medication with meals or immediately after meals. Food can reduce gastrointestinal discomfort (such as nausea and abdominal bloating) that some patients may experience. Take with an adequate amount of warm water and avoid swallowing dry.

3. Take Regularly

Take at fixed times each day (e.g., with breakfast, lunch, and dinner) to maintain stable blood drug concentrations and reduce missed doses. Avoid alcohol during treatment to prevent worsening of prostatic congestion.

2. Management of Missed Doses

1. Take as Soon as Remembered

If a dose is missed and there is a long interval before the next dose, take the missed dose as soon as possible.

2. Skip if Close to the Next Dose

If the missed dose is close to the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose as originally scheduled. Never take a double dose at once.

3. Do Not Take Arbitrary Make-Up Doses

It is not recommended to take large make-up doses at bedtime or outside meal times, as this may cause stomach discomfort.

3. Course Recommendations and Precautions

1. Take Regularly According to the Course

Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia usually requires a certain period. Continuous use is recommended, generally with a 3-month evaluation period. The specific course should be determined by the physician based on symptom improvement. Do not stop the medication on your own because symptoms temporarily improve.

2. Regular Follow-Up Evaluation

During treatment, regular follow-up visits should be made to evaluate improvement in urinary symptoms (such as urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia). If symptoms do not improve or worsen, seek medical attention promptly to adjust the regimen.

3. Be Alert to Acute Urinary Retention

If complete inability to urinate and severe lower abdominal pain occur suddenly during treatment, seek medical attention immediately and do not rely solely on oral medication.

4. Special Populations
