TAMSUKEM-D 15S

About

Tamsukem-D is a comprehensive combination therapy specifically designed for the effective management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a prevalent condition in aging men characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. This medication integrates two distinct active pharmaceutical ingredients: Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. Tamsulosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker, works by relaxing the smooth muscles within the prostate and bladder neck, which significantly improves the flow of urine and alleviates the bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms associated with BPH. Dutasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, acts by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone crucial for prostate growth, thereby shrinking the overall size of the prostate gland over time. This synergistic approach targets both the dynamic and static components of prostate enlargement, leading to substantial improvements in urinary symptoms, a reduced risk of acute urinary retention, and a decreased likelihood of requiring BPH-related surgical interventions. It is typically prescribed for long-term therapeutic benefits.
