VELTAM PLUS TAB

About

Veltam Plus is a combination medication specifically formulated for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It typically contains Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, two active pharmaceutical ingredients that address different aspects of BPH pathophysiology. Tamsulosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist, works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate gland and bladder neck, thereby improving urine flow and alleviating obstructive urinary symptoms such as hesitancy, weak stream, and incomplete emptying. This action provides relatively rapid symptomatic relief.

Dutasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, acts by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth. By lowering DHT levels, dutasteride helps to shrink the enlarged prostate over time, which can reduce the risk of BPH progression, acute urinary retention, and the need for BPH-related surgery. The synergistic action of these two components offers both immediate symptomatic improvement and long-term disease modification, providing comprehensive management for men with BPH.
