Product Introduction

Tamlocept D Capsule is a combination medication containing Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. It is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia in men (enlarged prostate). Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland which can lead to urinary problems such as difficulty in passing urine, frequent or urgent need to urinate, and urinary dribbling. This medicine is not recommended for adolescents and children under 18 years of age. Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to soya, peanuts, or any ingredients, or if angioedema (swelling due to an allergic reaction) occurs after using certain drugs. Inform your doctor if you have serious liver infection, experience dizziness, or have malaise. Also inform your doctor if you experience dizziness during or after urination (micturition syncope). If you are planning to undergo cataract or glaucoma surgery, inform your doctor that you are taking or have recently taken Tamlocept D Capsule. Use with caution if you have severely impaired renal function, as there is insufficient data from clinical studies regarding patients with severe renal impairment. If dizziness occurs, sit down or lie down until these symptoms resolve. Report to your doctor if there is a drop in blood pressure with long-term use.
