Benefits of Tamixo-Plus Tablet

Tamixo-Plus Tablet helps shrink the prostate gland and relax the muscles in the bladder and prostate to ease the passage of urine. This combination of Dutasteride and Tamsulosin works effectively to reduce the size of the prostate, reduce discomfort, and improve urine flow. Consistent usage may also reduce the risk of complete urinary blockage.

• Dutasteride: A 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that blocks the production of a hormone (DHT) which causes prostate enlargement.
