How it works
Temsuride Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, which relieves the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. 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.

Apart from taking medicines, what else can I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
In addition to taking your prescribed medication, try to urinate as soon as you feel the urge. Avoid straining or pushing while urinating.
