About Tamfil DS Capsule

Tamfil DS 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. Tamfil DS Capsule may also help provide relief from pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with kidney stones.
 
Tamfil DS 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, Tamfil DS Capsule helps treat kidney stones.
 
You are advised to take Tamfil DS Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhoea, and cold symptoms. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
