How Dutalfa Combipack Works

Alfuzosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces the size of the prostate by lowering the levels of a hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Together, they offer comprehensive relief from BPH symptoms.
