How it works
Tamrik-D 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.

Additionally, avoid medications that worsen urinary symptoms like certain cold and cough remedies.
