Tasulin-D Tablet is primarily used to manage the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men, which is an enlargement of the prostate gland that may cause urinary issues. This medicine is part of a group known as combination medicines that work together to provide relief from these symptoms.

In addition to its main use, this medicine can also help improve urinary flow and reduce the frequency of urination, particularly during the night. It can also assist in managing difficulty in starting urination and the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

It is essential to take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Let your doctor know about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine. If you notice any side effects, be sure to inform your doctor promptly. For the best outcome, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Tasulin-D Tablet is used for the following:

Management of moderate to severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
Helping to improve the flow of urine
Reducing the frequency of urination, particularly at night
Assisting in achieving complete bladder emptying
Remember, Tasulin-D Tablet is not meant for preventing or managing prostate cancer

Directions for Use of Tasulin D Tablet 15

Here are some instructions on how to take Tasulin-D Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Avoid chewing, crushing, or opening the tablet as it may affect its absorption.
Take the medicine approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day.

Tasulin-D Tablet is taken orally.

Tasulin-D Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Decreased libido: This means you might have less sexual desire.
Erectile dysfunction
Ejaculatory disorders: This refers to issues with ejaculation, which might include reduced semen volume or inability to ejaculate.
Breast tenderness or enlargement: Men may notice their breasts becoming tender or larger.
Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when getting up from a sitting or lying position.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Tasulin-D Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some guidelines for managing common side effects:

Erectile dysfunction: Consider taking this medicine at bedtime to minimise this effect.
Dizziness or lightheadedness: You can manage this by getting up slowly from a sitting or lying position. Avoid sudden changes in posture.

Tasulin-D Tablet has two primary ingredients that work together:

Dutasteride (0.5 mg): Belonging to the class of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, dutasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone primarily responsible for prostate growth, so by reducing DHT levels, dutasteride helps shrink the enlarged prostate and alleviate BPH symptoms.
Tamsulosin (0.4 mg): As an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, also known as an alpha-blocker, tamsulosin relaxes the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Tamsulosin targets the alpha-1A receptors, predominantly found in the prostate, thus minimising the risk of blood pressure-related side effects.
