How it works

Tamgress-D Capsule PR is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, which relieves the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker, which works by relaxing the muscle around the bladder exit and prostate gland so as to allow easy passage of urine. Dutasteride 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.

Direction of use

Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Tamgress-D Capsule PR may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
