Introduction
Contiflo OD F Tablet SR is a combination of Tamsulosin and Finasteride, which work together to relieve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) such as difficulty urinating or frequent urination. It is not used to prevent prostate cancer. Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles around the bladder exit and prostate gland, facilitating easier urine passage. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that helps shrink the prostate gland by reducing the hormone levels that cause its growth. Common side effects may include dizziness, blurring of vision, and sexual dysfunction. Consult your doctor for more information.
