About TAMCONTIN D TABLET

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

TAMCONTIN 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 TAMCONTIN D TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take TAMCONTIN D TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. The most common side effects of TAMCONTIN D TABLET 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. They do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
