About Tamcort S Capsule

Tamcort S Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat kidney stones. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. Tamcort S Capsule may also help provide relief from pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with kidney stones.
 
Tamcort S Capsule contains Tamsulosin and Deflazacort. Tamsulosin relaxes the muscles around the bladder, and prostate gland, thereby eases the passage of kidney stones. Deflazacort reduces inflammation in the kidneys; this promotes the passage of stones via urine. Together, Tamcort S Capsule helps treat kidney stones.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhoea, and cold symptoms.
