BPH, or enlarged prostate, is a non-cancerous growth of your prostate gland. It is caused by the increased production of a stress hormone called DHT in adult men.
After a valid prescription from the doctor, Veltam F 0.4mg/5mg can be purchased from licensed pharmacies.
How does Veltam F 0.4mg/5mg work?
Veltam F tablet contains two active ingredients: Finasteride and Tamsulosin.
Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that helps decrease the production of a hormone known as DHT. DHT is responsible for the enlargement of the prostate gland.
Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the prostate gland and bladder, ensuring easy urine flow.
Together, both the active ingredients of Veltam F manage BPH symptoms by relieving urinary difficulties and improving urine flow caused by an enlarged prostate gland.
