✅ Product Benefits

• Dual-mode treatment:

  • Tamsulosin (α₁A-blocker) relaxes prostate and bladder muscles for immediate symptom relief.

  • Dutasteride (5α-reductase inhibitor) reduces DHT production to gradually shrink the prostate and treat underlying enlargement.
    Together they offer faster and more lasting improvement than single drug therapy. turn0search3turn0search14turn0search6

• Drug interactions:

  • Caution with CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole) increasing tamsulosin levels

  • Avoid concurrent PDE‑5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil), other α-blockers, or CNS depressants due to additive hypotensive risk.
