Pharmacological Action
This combination works through dual mechanisms:
-
Tamsulosin: Blocks alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the prostate and bladder neck, relaxing smooth muscles and improving urine flow

Dutasteride: Inhibits 5-alpha reductase enzyme, reducing conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), leading to gradual shrinkage of the prostate
