Switching from Urimax (tamsulosin) to Urimax D (which adds dutasteride) helps shrink the prostate over time. Urinating less frequently?every four hours instead of two?is actually a positive sign that his bladder is relaxing and storing urine better. However, passing smaller amounts could sometimes mean his bladder is not emptying completely. Please monitor him for any lower abdominal discomfort, bloating, or difficulty starting to urinate. It is best to consult his doctor to ensure his bladder is emptying fully and that he is adapting well to the new medication.
