Description
Veltam Plus tablets are used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland enlarges. These tablets contain a combination of tamsulosin and dutasteride, which work together to alleviate BPH symptoms. Tamsulosin relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urine flow, while dutasteride helps shrink the enlarged prostate gland.
Common side effects of Veltam Plus may include dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, a runny or stuffy nose, reduced semen volume, testicular pain or swelling, breast enlargement, or breast tenderness. It may also affect sexual function, such as decreased libido.
It's crucial to take Veltam Plus exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This medication is not intended for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about any existing liver or kidney problems. Pregnant women and children should avoid contact with any leaking medication, as it can be absorbed through the skin and may harm a developing male fetus. Fertile men should use condoms during sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Veltam Plus is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Caution is advised when using this medication in elderly patients.
Tamsulosin and dutasteride are the active ingredients in the medications Urimax D tablet, Flodart Plus tablet, Tamdura capsule, Flokind D tablet and Dutas T Plus tablet. T
