About StayHappi Alfuzosin Hydrochloride+Dutasteride 10mg/0.5mg Tablet SR

StayHappi Alfuzosin Hydrochloride+Dutasteride 10mg/0.5mg Tablet SR belongs to a group of medicines known as 'urinary bladder relaxant' medication, used primarily in treating the enlarged prostate gland. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused by the overproduction of a dihydrotestosterone hormone in men. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and frequent urination. StayHappi Alfuzosin Hydrochloride+Dutasteride 10mg/0.5mg Tablet SR helps relieve these symptoms. StayHappi Alfuzosin Hydrochloride+Dutasteride 10mg/0.5mg Tablet SR does not cure prostate cancer.

StayHappi Alfuzosin Hydrochloride+Dutasteride 10mg/0.5mg Tablet SR contains Alfuzosin (alpha-blockers) and Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily used to treat the enlarged prostate gland. Alfuzosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the prostate gland muscles. Dutasteride reduces the enlarged prostate gland's size by lowering the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, thereby relieving urinary incontinence symptoms that minimise the need for prostate surgery and the risk of acute urinary retention. Both of them collectively improve Benign Hyperplasia Prostate symptoms (BPH).

Medicinal Benefits

StayHappi Alfuzosin Hydrochloride+Dutasteride 10mg/0.5mg Tablet SR 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).
