1. What is Benur and what is it used for
Benur contains the active substance doxazosin, which belongs to a group of medicines called
prostatic urologicals. It is used for the treatment of symptoms caused by enlargement of the prostate, a
gland of the male genital apparatus.
In patients who present with enlargement of the prostate gland, Benur is used to treat
poor and/or frequent urine flow. Benur works by relaxing the muscle around the outlet
of the bladder and the prostate gland in order to facilitate the passage of urine.
2. What you need to know before taking Benur
Do not take Benur
- If you are allergic to doxazosin, to other types of quinazolines (such as prazosin or terazosin) or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If you have suffered from a condition known as "orthostatic hypotension", a form of low blood pressure that causes dizziness or a feeling of faintness when getting up from a sitting or lying position.
- If you have an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia) together with: any type of congestion or blockage of the urinary tract, a persistent urinary tract infection or have bladder stones.
- If you suffer from excessively low blood pressure (hypotension).
- If you have a particular form of urinary incontinence in which involuntary loss of urine occurs as a result of an overly full bladder, or if you do not produce an adequate amount of urine, with or without a progressive loss of kidney function.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Benur.
When you start taking Benur you may experience a feeling of weakness, dizziness and, rarely, fainting
caused by a drop in blood pressure when getting up from a sitting or lying position. If
you experience a feeling of weakness, dizziness or fainting, you should sit or lie down until you
feel better and avoid situations where you could fall or get injured. Your doctor may decide to
measure your blood pressure regularly at the beginning of treatment to reduce the possibility that
these side effects occur.
If you are about to undergo eye surgery for cataracts (clouding of the lens),
tell your ophthalmologist before the operation that you are using or have previously used Benur.
Benur can cause complications during surgery that can be managed if the
specialist is warned in advance.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist before taking Benur if any of the following conditions apply to you,
because in these cases Benur must be used with caution:
- If you suffer from a heart condition.
- If you suffer from or have suffered from a liver disease.
- If you are taking medicines for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence), called phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (e.g. sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil), as both medicines have the effect of lowering blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. The simultaneous use of Benur and these other medicines could cause an excessive drop in blood pressure (see Other medicines and Benur). To reduce the likelihood of symptoms occurring, you should start Benur therapy first by regularly taking a daily dose. Then, once Benur therapy is stabilized, you can start taking medicines for erectile dysfunction.
Persistent painful erections of the penis –can occur very rarely. If this happens, contact
your doctor immediately.
Before starting therapy with Benur, your doctor may perform tests to rule out other diseases
such as prostate cancer, which could cause the same symptoms as benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Children and adolescents
Benur is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age as the safety and
efficacy of the treatment have not been established.
Other medicines and Benur
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any
other medicines.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking any of the following medicines,
as they may affect the effect of Benur:
- Medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, such as sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil (see Warnings and precautions).
- Medicines that lower blood pressure.
- Medicines for the treatment of bacterial or fungal infections, such as clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, telithromycin, voriconazole.
- Medicines used to treat HIV, such as indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir.
- Nefazodone, a medicine used to treat depression.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
The use of Benur is not indicated in women.
Driving and using machines
Be careful if you drive or operate machinery. These tablets may impair your ability
to drive or operate machinery safely, especially at the beginning of treatment. They may
cause you to feel weak or dizzy. If you experience these symptoms, do not drive or operate machinery
and contact your doctor immediately.
Benur contains lactose
If your doctor has diagnosed you with intolerance to certain sugars, contact him before taking this
medicine.
Benur contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per tablet, i.e. essentially ‘sodium-free’.
3. How to take Benur
Take this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor. If you have any doubts, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
The initial dose of Benur is 1 mg administered as a single dose every day.
After one or two weeks, your doctor may increase the dose to 2 mg per day, based on the results of your tests on bladder and urethra function (small duct of the last part of the urinary tract that
carries urine from the bladder to the outside) or based on your symptoms caused by prostate enlargement.
If necessary, after a further period of one or two weeks, your doctor may decide to increase the dose again to 4mg per day. The doctor, after a further period of one or two weeks and if
necessary, may further increase the dose to 8 mg per day. However, 8 mg per day is the maximum recommended dose.
Benur can be taken indifferently in the morning or evening.
If you take more Benur than you should
Taking too many tablets together can make you feel unwell, as blood pressure drops
excessively. If this happens, lie down. Taking many tablets can
be dangerous. If you take more Benur than you should, inform your doctor immediately or go to the emergency room of the nearest
hospital.
If you forget to take Benur
If you forget to take Benur, skip the dose completely. Do not take a double dose to make up for the
forgotten dose.
If you forget to take the tablets for a few days, however, restarting Benur should be done starting again from
the lowest dose of 1 mg.
