About Wetstop Capsule

Wetstop Capsule 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. Wetstop Capsule helps in getting relief from these symptoms. And also, Wetstop Capsule does not cure prostate cancer.

Wetstop Capsule 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 Wetstop Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Wetstop Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. The most common side effects of Wetstop Capsule 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. 

Women or children should not take $ name. Please inform your doctor before starting Wetstop Capsule have low blood pressure, liver/kidney disease, history of heart problems.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Directions for Use

Take Wetstop Capsule with or without food as directed by your physician. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it.

Medicinal Benefits

Wetstop Capsule 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).
