FLODART PLUS 75

About

FLODART PLUS combines Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, offering a dual-action approach to managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Tamsulosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist that relaxes the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, rapidly improving urinary flow and reducing obstructive symptoms. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth. By reducing DHT levels, Dutasteride helps to shrink the enlarged prostate over time, thereby addressing the underlying cause of BPH and reducing the risk of BPH-related surgery or acute urinary retention. This combination therapy is particularly effective for men with larger prostates and more severe symptoms, providing both quick symptomatic relief and long-term prostate volume reduction.
