Product Introduction

Tamgress D Tablet is a combination medication containing Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. It is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia in men, which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary difficulties including reduced urinary flow, increased frequency or urgency of urination, and post-micturition dribbling.

This medication is not recommended for adolescents and children under 18 years of age. Do not take Tamgress D Tablet if you are allergic to soya, peanuts, or any other ingredient in the formulation, or if you have experienced angioedema (swelling resulting from an allergic reaction) following use of other medicines.

Inform your doctor if you have severe liver disease, experience dizziness, or have malaise that occurs during or after urination (micturition syncope). If you are scheduled for cataract or glaucoma surgery, notify your ophthalmologist that you are taking or have recently taken Tamgress D Tablet.

Use with caution if you have severely impaired renal function, as clinical data in patients with severe renal impairment is limited. If dizziness occurs, sit or lie down until the symptoms resolve. Report to your physician if you develop a drop in blood pressure with long-term use of this medication.

Uses

How it works

Tamsulosin mainly reduces the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, which leads to the shrinking of the prostate and relieves the symptoms. Dutasteride relaxes the prostate gland's muscles, facilitating easier urination.
