Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

ALFUZOSIN-10MG + DUTASTERIDE-0.5MG

Uses:

Treatment of Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Medicinal Benefits:

Fuzoprost D 10mg/0.5mg Tablet ER contains Alfuzosin (alpha-blockers) and dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily used 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. Alfuzosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the gland. Both of them collectively improve Benign Hyperplasia Prostate symptoms (BPH).
