Tamsukem D 0.4mg/0.5mg Tablet – Product Information

Tamsukem D 0.4mg/0.5mg Tablet is a combination medicine prescribed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It helps relieve urinary problems such as difficulty in starting urination, weak flow, frequent urges, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. This medicine does not prevent prostate cancer.

Uses

• Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Benefits

An enlarged prostate can lead to troublesome urinary symptoms, including weak urine flow, frequent urination, and urgency. If left untreated, it may cause complete blockage of urine flow. Tamsukem D Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Dutasteride – reduces the size of the prostate by lowering hormone levels responsible for its growth.

• Tamsulosin – relaxes muscles in the bladder neck and prostate, making it easier to pass urine.

Together, they improve urine flow, relieve symptoms, and reduce the risk of complications. While some relief may be noticed in a few weeks, full benefits may take several months of regular use.

How to Use

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It may be taken with or without food, but should be taken at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it. Continue taking it regularly for the best results.

How It Works

Tamsukem D Tablet combines two medicines: Tamsulosin (an alpha-blocker) that relaxes the smooth muscles in the bladder and prostate to ease urine flow, and Dutasteride (a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) that shrinks the prostate gland by reducing hormone levels.

Possible Side Effects

Some users may experience:

• Dizziness or drowsiness

• Decreased libido or impotence

• Ejaculation problems

• Breast tenderness or enlargement in men

• Low blood pressure when standing up (orthostatic hypotension)

These effects are usually mild. Consult your doctor if they persist or cause concern.
