Veltam Plus

🌟 Introduction to Veltam Plus (Tamsulosin/Dutasteride)

Veltam Plus, a dual-action BPH therapy by Intas Pharmaceuticals, combines Tamsulosin (an alpha-blocker) and Dutasteride (a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) to provide rapid symptom relief and long-term prostate shrinkage. Tamsulosin relaxes bladder muscles for improved urine flow, while Dutasteride reduces prostate size by blocking DHT production. Clinical trials show 85% of patients achieve significant symptom improvement within 3 months. Packaged in 15 modified-release tablets, Veltam Plus offers a cost-effective alternative to pricier US brands like Jalyn, adhering to WHO-GMP and USFDA standards.
