Flowel-Plus (Tamsulosin and Dustasteride) X10

Flowel-Plus Tablet is a unique combination medication that contains two active ingredients, tamsulosin, and dutasteride, specifically designed to address prostate health concerns. This innovative formulation provides a comprehensive approach to managing the symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in aging men characterized by an enlarged prostate gland.

Uses

Flowel-Plus Tablet is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of BPH, such as:

• Difficulty starting urination (hesitancy)
• Weak or interrupted urine stream
• Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
• Urgent need to urinate
• Incomplete bladder emptying

By targeting both the static and dynamic components of BPH, Flowel-Plus Tablet can effectively alleviate these bothersome symptoms, improve urinary flow, and enhance overall quality of life for men suffering from an enlarged prostate.

Benefits

• Combines two effective active ingredients for comprehensive prostate symptom relief
• Tamsulosin relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow
• Dutasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), reducing prostate enlargement
• Helps improve urinary flow and reduce the risk of acute urinary retention
• Convenient once-daily dosing for improved compliance
• Generally well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile

Key Ingredients

Flowel-Plus Tablet contains two active ingredients:

1. Tamsulosin: An alpha-blocker that selectively blocks the action of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, leading to the relaxation of smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow.
2. Dutasteride: A dual 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth, thereby reducing prostate enlargement over time.

Mechanism of Action

Tamsulosin in Flowel-Plus Tablet works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, allowing for improved urine flow and reducing the sensation of urgency and incomplete bladder emptying. Dutasteride, on the other hand, inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which is known to contribute to prostate growth. By targeting both the static and dynamic components of BPH, Flowel-Plus Tablet provides a comprehensive approach to managing the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Flowel-Plus Tablet is one capsule taken orally once daily, with or without food. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider and not exceed the recommended amount.

Warning

Flowel-Plus Tablet should be used with caution in individuals with certain medical conditions, such as liver or kidney impairment, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as drug interactions may occur.

Side Effects

Like most medications, Flowel-Plus Tablet may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, rhinitis (stuffy nose), and decreased libido. Rare but more serious side effects may include allergic reactions, orthostatic hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing), and priapism (prolonged and painful erection). If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention immediately.

Important Information

While Flowel-Plus Tablet can provide effective relief from BPH symptoms, it is important to remember that it does not treat or cure prostate cancer. Regular prostate exams and screenings are still recommended, especially for men over the age of 50 or those with risk factors for prostate cancer. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, consult with your healthcare provider promptly.
