TAMSULOSIN HCL 0.4 mg + DUTASTERIDE 0.5 mg.
This combination of Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0.4 mg and Dutasteride 0.5 mg is used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. Tamsulosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker that relaxes the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces prostate size by lowering dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, providing long-term symptom control and disease management.
Benefits:
- Improves urine flow and reduces urinary obstruction
- Helps relieve symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and weak stream
- Reduces prostate size over time for long-term relief
- Decreases risk of urinary retention and related complications
- Provides both rapid symptom relief (Tamsulosin) and long-term control (Dutasteride)
Indications:
This combination is indicated for:
-
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men
- Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with enlarged prostate
- Difficulty in urination, including weak stream, hesitancy, and incomplete emptying
- Prevention of progression of prostate enlargement
