Veltam F

🌟 Introduction to Veltam F (Tamsulosin/Finasteride)

Veltam F, a dual-action BPH therapy by Intas Pharmaceuticals, combines Tamsulosin (an alpha-blocker) and Finasteride (a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) to address urinary symptoms and prostate enlargement simultaneously. Tamsulosin relaxes bladder muscles for improved urine flow, while Finasteride shrinks the prostate by reducing DHT levels. Studies show 90% of patients experience symptom relief within 4 weeks, making Veltam F a preferred choice for moderate-to-severe BPH. Packaged in 15 modified-release tablets, this cost-effective combo ensures convenience and compliance.
