How it works
Tambone Plus Tablet 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.

Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?

Finally, avoid medicines that tend to worsen urinary symptoms like some over-the-counter cold and cough medications.
