DEFLAZACORT+TAMSULOSIN is a combination medicine used to treat kidney stones. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. DEFLAZACORT+TAMSULOSIN may also help provide relief from pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with kidney stones.
DEFLAZACORT+TAMSULOSIN contains Tamsulosin and Deflazacort. Tamsulosin relaxes the muscles around the bladder, and prostate gland, thereby eases the passage of kidney stones. Deflazacort reduces inflammation in the kidneys; this promotes the passage of stones via urine. Together, DEFLAZACORT+TAMSULOSIN helps treat kidney stones.
You are advised to take DEFLAZACORT+TAMSULOSIN for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhoea, and cold symptoms.
