DUTASTERIDE AND TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE (dutasteride)
DUTASTERIDE AND TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE is indicated for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
How DUTASTERIDE AND TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE Works
This medication utilizes two distinct mechanisms of action: dutasteride is a competitive, specific inhibitor of both type 1 and type 2 5-alpha-reductase isoenzymes, which blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the primary androgen responsible for prostate enlargement. Tamsulosin is an antagonist of alpha-1A adrenoreceptors located in the prostate and bladder neck; blockade of these receptors relaxes smooth muscle tone, thereby improving urine flow rate and reducing the obstructive and irritative symptoms of BPH.
