About Veltam-DFZ Capsule

Veltam-DFZ Capsule is an oral medication primarily prescribed to help patients pass kidney stones located in the urinary tract. It works by easing the passage of these stones and reducing the localized swelling and pain they cause. By addressing both the physical blockage and the body's inflammatory response, it helps you pass the stones more comfortably.

You should take Veltam-DFZ Capsule consistently at the same time every day to ensure it works effectively. It is best taken with or immediately after a meal, preferably breakfast or your first meal of the day. To support this treatment, drinking plenty of water throughout the day is highly recommended to help flush out the stones naturally.

Some people may experience mild side effects, such as dizziness, a runny or stuffy nose, or minor indigestion. If you notice any serious side effects, such as sudden vision changes, a rapid heartbeat, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately.

Do not take this if you have severe liver damage, severe kidney failure, or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Before starting this medication, talk to your doctor if you have a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma, or heart conditions, as your treatment may need careful monitoring.

Veltam-DFZ Capsule can interact with alcohol, which may cause a sudden and unsafe drop in your blood pressure. It may also interact with certain blood pressure medications and antifungal drugs. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a surgery (especially eye surgery), talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Veltam-DFZ Capsule .

How Veltam-DFZ Capsule Works

Veltam-DFZ Capsule contains Tamsulosin and Deflazacort. Tamsulosin: It helps relax the muscles of the urinary tract, especially the ureter and bladder neck. This widens the passage, making it easier for kidney stones to move and pass naturally while improving urine flow. Deflazacort: It helps reduce swelling and inflammation caused by the movement of a kidney stone. This keeps the urinary passage more open, helping the stone pass with less pain and discomfort.
