Geritam D Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Dutasteride (0.5 mg): This component is a 5α-reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the primary hormone responsible for prostate growth, and by reducing DHT levels, dutasteride helps shrink the enlarged prostate gland over time.

• Tamsulosin (0.4 mg): This works as an α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist that specifically targets the smooth muscles in the prostate, bladder neck, and urethra. By relaxing these muscles, tamsulosin improves urine flow and reduces symptoms like hesitancy, straining, and incomplete bladder emptying.

• Limit your caffeine and alcohol intake, as these can irritate your bladder and worsen benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate enlargement) symptoms like frequent urination and weak urine flow.

• Stay physically active with regular moderate exercise, such as walking or swimming, which can help reduce lower urinary tract symptoms associated with prostate enlargement.
