What Is Dutas-T (Dutasteride / Tamsulosin)
Dutas-T (Dutasteride/Tamsulosin) is a combination of 2 separate medicines in one capsule - dutasteride and tamsulosin. This combination is used to treat prostate hyperplasia and hair loss (Male Pattern Baldness). Also, Dutas-T (Dutasteride/Tamsulosin) eliminates the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia, increases the speed of urination, reduces the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery.
The combination of dutasteride (dual inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase) and tamsulosin (alpha 1-adrenoreceptor blocker) complement each other by the mechanism of action.
Dutasteride Suppresses the activity of type 1 and type 2 ?-reductase isoenzymes, under the action of which testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) - the main androgen responsible for the hyperplasia of the glandular tissue of the prostate gland.
Tamsulosin Inhibits alpha1a-adrenoreceptors in the smooth muscles of the prostate stroma and the bladder neck. About 75% of alpha1-adrenergic receptors in the prostate gland are receptors of the alpha1a subtype.
