What is this medicine?
TAMSUHEAL D contains two active ingredients: Tamsulosin (0.4 mg) and Dutasteride (0.5 mg).
This combination medicine is used in men to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — an enlarged prostate.
-
Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
-
Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that helps shrink the prostate over time.
It is not intended for use in women or children.
