Flodart Plus Capsule 10

Flodart Plus Capsule is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps relax the muscles of the prostate and bladder while reducing prostate size, improving urine flow and relieving symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying.

Follow these instructions while taking Flodart Plus Capsule:

• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.
• Do not chew or crush the capsule. It should be swallowed whole.
• Take the capsule approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day.
• If you're unsure about anything related to your medication, don't hesitate to consult your doctor.

Flodart Plus Capsule is taken orally.

Flodart Plus Capsule contains two active ingredients which work together to manage the symptoms of BPH:

• Dutasteride (0.5 mg): This compound works by inhibiting an enzyme called 5α-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By lowering DHT levels in the prostate, dutasteride can gradually reduce the size of an enlarged prostate and improve urinary symptoms.
• Tamsulosin (0.4 mg): This ingredient acts by selectively blocking α1-adrenergic receptors located in the smooth muscle tissues of the prostate and the bladder neck. This action relaxes these tissues, thereby reducing resistance to urine flow and relieving obstructive symptoms without affecting bladder contractility.

Together, these two components provide more rapid and pronounced symptomatic relief compared to either drug alone. However, it may take several months for maximum benefits to develop as the prostate gradually decreases in size.

• Store Flodart Plus Capsule at room temperature, preferably below 30°C.
• Keep it protected from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.
• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children.
• Always check the expiry date on the package before use.

• Stay well-hydrated: As Flodart Plus Capsule is used to manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate, it is beneficial for you to drink plenty of water each day. This helps keep your urinary system functioning smoothly.
• Practice pelvic floor exercises: These exercises can help strengthen your bladder muscles, improving your control over urination and relieving urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. Be sure to consult your doctor for proper instructions on how to perform these exercises.
