Tamsulosin Hcl (Prolonged Release) & Dutasteride Capsules

Tamsulosin HCL (Prolonged Release) & Dutasteride Capsules

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride + Dutasteride is mainly prescribed to treat prostate gland enlargement. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate gland enlargement) is a benign (non-malignant) enlargement of the prostate gland due to an excess of a hormone named dihydrotestosterone in men. When the gland grows, it may result in urinary issues, including difficulty urinating and increased frequency of urination. Tamsulosin Hydrochloride + Dutasteride brings relief from all these symptoms. And Tamsulosin Hydrochloride + dutasteride also does not treat prostate cancer.

It is a combination tablet with Tamsulosin hydrochloride (alpha-blockers) and Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor). Tamsulosin helps to urinate easily by calming the prostate gland muscles. Contrarily, Dutasteride decreases the prostate gland size by decreasing the level of dihydrotestosterone hormone, which alleviates the symptoms of urinary incontinence that decrease the need for prostate surgery and the risk of acute urinary retention. Both of them together enhance the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

Benefits:
