How It Works

There are two active components in URILOSIN-F:

• Tamsulosin (0.4 mg)
• Blocker of alpha-1
• Loosens the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck
• ↑ Increases urine flow and lessens blockage
• Five milligrams of finasteride
• Inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase
• Decreases the DHT hormone
• ← Makes the prostate smaller and stops it from becoming more

The combined effect:

• ✔ Faster alleviation from symptoms
• ✔ Long-term decrease in the size of the prostate
• ✔ Lowers the risk of urinary retention
• ✔ Less need for surgery on the prostate

Medicine interaction

• Other alpha-blockers, such as prazosin and terazosin, can cause blood pressure to drop too much.
• PDE-5 inhibitors (Sildenafil, Tadalafil) can make you quite dizzy.
• Antihypertensives—extra effect on reducing blood pressure
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as ketoconazole and clarithromycin) raise levels.
• Warfarin: potential interaction (keep an eye on INR)
• Ritonavir raises the level of drugs in the body.

Drinking:

• Don't take a lot; it raises the danger of passing out or feeling dizzy.

How to use

• After eating the same meal every day, take one tablet.
• Do not crumble or chew; just swallow.
