About Geriflo D Tablet

Geriflo D Tablet 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. Geriflo D Tablet helps in getting relief from these symptoms. And also, Geriflo D Tablet does not cure prostate cancer.

Geriflo D Tablet contains Tamsulosin (alpha-blockers) and Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily used to treat enlarged prostate glands. Tamsulosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the prostate gland. On the other hand, Dutasteride reduces the enlarged prostate gland's size by lowering the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, thereby relieving the symptoms of urinary incontinence that minimizing the need for prostate surgery and the risk of acute urinary retention. Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH).

Take Geriflo D Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Geriflo D Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition.

Medicinal Benefits

Geriflo D Tablet 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).
