Product Introduction

Flodart DZ Capsule contains Deflazacort and Tamsulosin as active ingredients. Deflazacort is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, while Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that helps relax the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder, improving urinary flow. Flodart DZ Capsule is used to manage inflammatory conditions associated with autoimmune diseases and to alleviate urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can also assist in the passage of kidney stones and reduce discomfort associated with inflammation.

Flodart DZ Capsule should not be used if you are allergic to Deflazacort, Tamsulosin, or any of its other ingredients. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have kidney, heart, or liver issues, or a history of blood pressure problems.
