VELTAM S

About

Veltam S is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker primarily used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by selectively relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate gland and the bladder neck, which are often constricted in men with BPH. This relaxation reduces the obstruction of urine flow from the bladder, thereby alleviating bothersome urinary symptoms such as hesitancy, weak stream, urgency, and nocturia. Unlike some other BPH treatments, Veltam S does not reduce the size of the prostate but focuses on improving urinary symptoms. Its selective action helps minimize systemic side effects, making it a preferred choice for many patients seeking relief from BPH-related discomfort and improving their quality of life.
