Tamlocept-D Capsule PR

Tamlocept-D Capsule PR combines two active ingredients, Tamsulosin (0.4mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg), to effectively treat conditions related to the prostate gland. It is primarily used in managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate becomes enlarged, causing urinary difficulties. By working together, Tamsulosin and Dutasteride help reduce the size of the prostate and improve urinary flow, providing relief from BPH symptoms.
