About Veltam-F Tablet MR

FINASTERIDE+TAMSULOSIN 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. FINASTERIDE+TAMSULOSIN helps in getting relief from these symptoms.

FINASTERIDE+TAMSULOSIN contains Tamsulosin (alpha-blockers) and Finasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily used to treat enlarged prostate gland. Tamsulosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the prostate gland. On the other hand, Finasteride reduces the enlarged prostate gland's size by lowering the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, thereby relieving urinary incontinence symptoms and leading to a decrease in the size of the prostate gland. Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH).

Medicinal Benefits of Veltam-F Tablet MR

FINASTERIDE+TAMSULOSIN contains tamsulosin (alpha-blockers) and finasteride (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. Finasteride 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).
