Combodart

Description

Combodart is a medication that combines two active ingredients, Dutasteride and Tamsulosin, to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland enlarges, causing difficulties with urination. Dutasteride works by reducing the size of the prostate gland, while Tamsulosin helps relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. This combination is suitable for men with BPH to help relieve urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and urgency.

You should take one Combodart capsule daily, swallowed whole with a glass of water. It's important to take it at the same time each day. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsules. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the duration of treatment. Typically, you may need to take Combodart for several months to experience the full benefits. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you experience prolonged erections or any other serious side effects, seek medical help immediately.
