Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

DUTASTERIDE-0.5MG + TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE-0.4MG

Uses:

Dutalosin Tablet is used in the treatment of Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The detailed uses of Dutalosin Tablet are as follows:<br/>• Management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Dutalosin Tablet helps to manage symptoms of enlarged prostate (BPH), like difficulty urinating, and improves quality of life.<br/>• Acute urinary retention: Dutalosin Tablet treats acute urinary retention by relaxing prostate muscles and shrinking the prostate gland, thereby improving urine flow.<br/>• Management of urinary symptoms: Dutalosin Tablet helps to relieve symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying.<br/>• Support for bladder function: Dutalosin Tablet supports bladder function, particularly in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by relaxing bladder muscles, improving urinary tract health.<br/>

Medicinal Benefits:

Dutalosin Tablet contains tamsulosin (alpha-blockers) and dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily in treating the enlarged prostate gland. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and a frequent urination urge. Dutasteride lowers the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, which leads to a decrease in the size of the prostate and, as a result, relieves the symptoms. This will reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery. Tamsulosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the gland. Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH).
