WHAT DUTASTERIDE/TAMSULOSIN ARISTO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
DUTASTERIDE/TAMSULOSIN ARISTO IS USED TO TREAT MEN WITH AN ENLARGED
PROSTATE
(
_benign prostatic _
_hyperplasia_
) - a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland, caused by producing
too much of a
hormone called dihydrotestosterone.
Dutasteride/Tamsulosin Aristo is a combination of two different
medicines called dutasteride and
tamsulosin.
Dutasteride belongs to a group of medicines called
_5-alpha reductase inhibitors_
and tamsulosin
belongs to a group of medicines called
_alpha-blockers_
.
As the prostate grows, it can lead to urinary problems, such as
difficulty in passing urine and a need
to go to the toilet frequently. It can also cause the flow of the
urine to be slower and less forceful. If
left untreated, there is a risk that your urine flow will be
completely blocked (
_acute urinary _
_retention_
). This requires immediate medical treatment. Sometimes surgery is
necessary to remove
or reduce the size of the prostate gland.
