Introduction
Urinage-T Tablet is a combination of Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It helps relieve symptoms like difficulty urinating or frequent urination. The medicine should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food. Common side effects include impotence, decreased libido, breast pain, and ejaculation disorders. It may take up to 4 weeks to notice an improvement in symptoms. This medicine should not be taken by women or children. Consult your doctor if you have low blood pressure, liver, or kidney disease, or if you are taking other medications.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. It may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Urinage-T Tablet is a combination of Tamsulosin, an alpha-blocker, and Dutasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. Tamsulosin works by relaxing the muscle around the bladder exit and prostate gland to allow easy passage of urine. Dutasteride helps in shrinking the prostate gland by decreasing the level of the hormone that helps the prostate gland grow.
Quick Tips

Urinage-T Tablet may cause dizziness or blurring of vision. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you. To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.

It may cause difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection (impotence), decreased sex drive, and ejaculation disorders such as decreased amount of semen produced or decreased sperm count.
