How it works
Urisurge-D Capsule PR is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. 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.

What are the cautions associated with the use of Urisurge-D Capsule PR?
The use of Urisurge-D Capsule PR is contraindicated in men under the age of 18 years, as it may affect the normal development of the male reproductive tract. Additionally, it is not recommended for patients with known allergies to any component of the medicine, women who are pregnant or of childbearing potential, and pregnant women should avoid handling the medicine as it may be absorbed through the skin and cause harm to the fetus.

What is the storage condition for Urisurge-D Capsule PR?
Keep Urisurge-D Capsule PR in its original container, tightly closed, and store it according to the instructions on the pack or label. Dispose of any unused medicine and ensure it is not consumed by pets, children, or other people.
Can the use of Urisurge-D Capsule PR cause ejaculation problems?
Yes, Urisurge-D Capsule PR can cause retrograde ejaculation (semen does not leave the body, instead goes into the bladder) and ejaculation failure (reduced or absent ejaculation volume). However, this is usually harmless and more commonly seen when the medicine is taken in high doses.
Can the use of Urisurge-D Capsule PR cause priapism (persistent painful penile erection unrelated to sexual activity)?
Yes, Urisurge-D Capsule PR can cause priapism, which is a serious but rare side effect. If you experience persistent painful penile erection, seek medical attention immediately, as this can lead to permanent impotence if left untreated.
Can the use of Urisurge-D Capsule PR have any impact on my cataract surgery?
Urisurge-D Capsule PR can cause floppy eye syndrome, which may affect cataract surgery. This condition causes the muscles of the iris to become floppy, leading to an unexpected constriction of the pupil during surgery. Inform your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if you are taking this medicine or have used it in the last 9 months.
Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
Simple lifestyle changes can help you manage your prostate symptoms better. Try to urinate when you first feel the urge, avoid straining or pushing while urinating, and avoid drinking fluids (especially alcohol and caffeine) a few hours before bedtime or going out. You should also avoid medicines that worsen urinary symptoms, such as some over-the-counter medicines for cold and cough.
