How it works
Uriwell-D Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, which relieves the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker, which 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is Uriwell-D Tablet effective?
Uriwell-D Tablet is effective if used in the dose and duration prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Uriwell-D Tablet too early, symptoms may return or worsen.
Can the use of Uriwell-D Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, the use of Uriwell-D Tablet can cause dizziness. Uriwell-D Tablet contains a combination of Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. Tamsulosin can cause a sudden fall in blood pressure when changing posture from lying to sitting or standing (orthostatic hypotension). This sudden drop in blood pressure may lead to dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, a spinning sensation, or vertigo. If you experience dizziness or lightheadedness, refrain from driving or operating machinery. It's best to rest until the symptoms subside.
What are the cautions associated with the use of Uriwell-D Tablet?
Uriwell-D Tablet is considered harmful for men under 18 years of age as it may affect their normal development. It is also harmful to patients with known allergies to any component of this medication and in women who are pregnant or of childbearing potential. Pregnant women should not even handle Uriwell-D Tablet because the medicine can pass through the skin and pose a risk to the fetus.
Is Uriwell-D Tablet safe?
Uriwell-D Tablet is considered safe when used in the prescribed dose and duration as directed by your healthcare provider. Take it exactly as instructed, without skipping any doses, and follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Let them know if you experience any side effects that concern you.
Can I take a higher than the recommended dose of this medicine?
No, Uriwell-D Tablet should only be taken in the prescribed dose. An overdose can increase the risks of side effects. Always follow your doctor's instructions and dosage.
What is the storage condition for Uriwell-D Tablet?
Store Uriwell-D Tablet in its original container or packaging, keeping it tightly closed at all times. Follow any specific instructions provided on the package label and discard unused medication safely.
Can the use of Uriwell-D Tablet cause ejaculation problems?
Retrograde ejaculation (semen does not leave the body, instead it goes into the bladder) and ejaculation failure (reduced or absent ejaculation volume) are common problems associated with the use of Uriwell-D Tablet. However, this is generally harmless and more commonly seen when the medication is used at high doses.
Can the use of Uriwell-D Tablet cause priapism (persistent painful penile erection unrelated to sexual activity)?
Yes, the use of Uriwell-D Tablet can increase the risk of priapism (painful and prolonged erection). It's a serious but rare side effect. If left untreated, it could potentially lead to permanent erectile dysfunction.
Can the use of Uriwell-D Tablet have any impact on my cataract surgery?
The use of Uriwell-D Tablet can increase the risk of floppy eye syndrome. This condition affects the muscles in the iris, causing them to become loose and leading to an unexpected constriction of the pupil during cataract surgery. This may limit the surgeon's ability to perform the procedure effectively as it could cause a smaller field of vision.
Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
While medication is essential in managing symptoms, lifestyle changes can significantly improve your overall well-being. Make sure you urinate when the urge arises without straining or pushing. Avoid consuming fluids, especially alcohol or caffeine, before bedtime. You can also consider avoiding medications that worsen urinary symptoms.
