Tamsulosin + Dutasteride

Tamsulosin + Dutasteride is a combination medication commonly prescribed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. The medication works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck while also reducing the size of the prostate over time. This dual action helps improve urine flow, reduce urinary symptoms, and enhance the quality of life for men suffering from BPH.
