How it works
Uritin-D Tablet MR is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that 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 that helps in shrinking the prostate gland by decreasing the level of the hormone which helps the prostate gland grow.
