You may consume about 60 ml of alcohol once or twice a month while taking Veltam Plus Tablet (which contains Tamsulosin and Dutasteride for benign prostatic hyperplasia), as occasional small amounts are generally safe. However, Tamsulosin can lower blood pressure, and alcohol can enhance this effect, possibly causing dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting, especially when standing up suddenly. To minimise risk, limit alcohol intake, keep a 4–6 hour gap between alcohol and your dose, and avoid driving or operating machinery afterwards. If you experience dizziness or low blood pressure, it’s best to avoid alcohol altogether. Regular or heavy drinking should be avoided, as it can worsen urinary symptoms and reduce the effectiveness of BPH treatment.

No, Veltam F does not cause cancer. Its finasteride component may slightly change how prostate cancer is detected, but it does not create cancer, and tamsulosin has no cancer risk. When starting Veltam F, some people may still notice frequent urination at night, or it may seem worse at first because the medicine takes time to work. Tamsulosin works faster, but finasteride may take several months to reduce prostate size and improve symptoms. Over time, nighttime urination usually gets better.
