Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an condition with enlarged Prostate gland. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.

How Urimax D (Tansulosin and dutasteride) works?
Tamsulosin works as a perfect alpha anti-androgen, and blocks the functionality by binding with the androgenic receptors. This causes a relaxation in smooth muscle and therefore less resistance to urinary flow Androgens such as testosterone are natural male s** hormone.
Dutasteride works as a competitive inhibitor of the 0.5-alpha reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Change of testosterone to DHT done by 0.5-alpha reductase is necessary for prostatic hyperplasia development, thus the Dutasteride drug blocks the conversion.
