How Urimax DX Products work
Tamsulosin + Dutasteride is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin + Dutasteride1 and Tamsulosin + Dutasteride2, which relieves the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tamsulosin + Dutasteride1 is an alpha-blocker. It works by relaxing the muscle around the bladder exit and prostate gland so as to allow easy passage of urine. Tamsulosin + Dutasteride2 is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor which helps in shrinking the prostate gland by decreasing the level of the hormone which helps the prostate gland grow.
