How it works
Reflow-D Capsule PR is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker. It 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.

Can the use of Reflow-D Capsule PR cause priapism (persistent painful penile erection unrelated to sexual activity)?
Yes, Reflow-D Capsule PR can cause priapism, a rare but serious side effect. If you experience persistent and painful penile erection, seek immediate medical attention, as it can lead to permanent impotence if left untreated.
Can the use of Reflow-D Capsule PR have any impact on my cataract surgery?
Reflow-D Capsule PR can cause floppy eye syndrome, which may affect cataract surgery. This condition can cause the iris muscles to become floppy, leading to an unexpected constriction of the pupil during surgery. Inform your eye doctor if you are taking this medication or have used it in the last 9 months.
Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
Simple lifestyle changes can help manage prostate symptoms. Try to urinate when you first feel the urge, avoid straining or pushing while urinating, and limit fluid intake (especially alcohol and caffeine) before bedtime or going out. Additionally, avoid medications that worsen urinary symptoms, such as some over-the-counter cold and cough medications.
