About Dutalosin Tablet 15's

Dutalosin Tablet 15's is a combination drug containing, Tamsulosin hydrochloride (alpha-blockers) and Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), 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 hormone called dihydrotestosterone in men. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and frequent urination. Dutalosin Tablet 15's helps in getting relief from these symptoms. And also, Dutalosin Tablet 15's does not cure prostate cancer.

Tamsulosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the prostate gland. On the other hand, Dutasteride reduces the size of the enlarged prostate gland by lowering the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, thereby relieving the symptoms of urinary incontinence that minimises the need for prostate surgery and the risk of acute urinary retention. Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH).

Dutalosin Tablet 15's can be taken with or without food, but it should be taken at the same time each day as prescribed by your doctor. For significant results, do not miss the dose of Dutalosin Tablet 15's. The most common side effects of Dutalosin Tablet 15's are dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, sexual problems (decreased sex drive or libido), runny/stuffy nose, reduced amount of semen/sperm), testicle pain/swelling, increased breast size, or breast tenderness. Sexual problems might continue in some men even after stopping treatment. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor promptly.

Women or children should not take $ name. Please inform your doctor before starting Dutalosin Tablet 15's have low blood pressure, liver/kidney disease, history of heart problem.

Uses of Dutalosin Tablet 15's

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Medicinal Benefits

Dutalosin Tablet 15's contains tamsulosin (alpha-blockers) and dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily in treating the enlarged prostate gland. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and a frequent urination urge. Dutasteride lowers the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, which leads to a decrease in the size of the prostate and, as a result, relieves the symptoms. This will reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery. Tamsulosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the gland. Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH).
