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 Uriful D Tablet have any impact on my cataract surgery?
Using Uriful D Tablet can cause floppy eye syndrome. It causes the muscles in the iris to become loose, and this can affect the pupil during cataract surgery. This can lead to difficulties with surgical procedures as the pupil may constrict unexpectedly. Inform your ophthalmologist (eye doctor) if you are taking this medicine or have used it within the last nine months.
Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
Simple lifestyle changes can help improve your prostate symptom management. Try to urinate when you first feel the urge. Avoid straining or pushing while urinating. Also, avoid consuming fluids (especially alcohol and caffeine) a few hours before bedtime or going out. It's also important to avoid medications that may worsen urinary symptoms like some over-the-counter cold and cough remedies.
