About Contiflo OD F Tablets 10's

Contiflo OD F Tablets 10's is a combination drug containing 'urinary bladder relaxant' medication, used primarily in treating the enlarged prostate gland. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused due to overproduction of a dihydrotestosterone hormone in men. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and frequent urination. Contiflo OD F Tablets 10's helps in getting relief from these symptoms.

Contiflo OD F Tablets 10's contains Tamsulosin (alpha-blockers) and Finasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily used to treat enlarged prostate gland. Tamsulosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the prostate gland. On the other hand, Finasteride reduces the enlarged prostate gland's size by lowering the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, thereby relieving urinary incontinence symptoms and leading to a decrease in the size of the prostate gland. Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH).
