About Flodart Plus Capsule
Flodart Plus Capsule is primarily used to treat enlarged prostate gland. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused due to overproduction of a dihydrotestosterone hormone in men.
Flodart Plus Capsule contains Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. Tamsulosin makes it easier to pass urine. On the other hand, Dutasteride reduces the enlarged prostate gland's size and relieves symptoms. Thereby, minimizes the risk of complete blockage of urine flow and need for prostate surgery.
In some cases, Flodart Plus Capsule may cause common side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, sexual problems (decreased sex drive or libido), runny/stuffy nose, reduced amount of semen/sperm), testicle pain/swelling, increased breast size, or breast tenderness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Women or children should not take Flodart Plus Capsule . Please inform your doctor before starting Flodart Plus Capsule have low blood pressure, liver/kidney disease, history of heart problems. It is advisable to use a contraceptive (like a condom) while having sex if your wife is pregnant as Flodart Plus Capsule is known to pass in semen.

Health Queries
Dr Y Thulasi
Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)
Only if your urinary symptoms are caused by chronic nerve damage from a thiamine shortage can benfotiamine be helpful. Ten years of slow, frequent urination frequently indicates problems with the nerves and muscles of the bladder or prostate, not just a vitamin shortage. Benfotiamine may help nerves, but it's unlikely to be a whole remedy, therefore you should have a urologic evaluation.
