Uritin-D Tablet MR

Uritin-D Tablet MR is a tablet containing tamsulosin and dutasteride in the strength stated on the pack, supplied by Overseas Healthcare. It belongs to the alpha blocker medicine group, with dutasteride added to help shrink an enlarged prostate over time. Uritin-D Tablet MR is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as a weak urine stream, trouble starting urination, and the need to urinate often, especially at night.

How it works: Tamsulosin relaxes the muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, which helps urine flow more easily through the tablet’s daily dosing. Dutasteride lowers DHT, a hormone that can enlarge the prostate, so this tablet can relieve symptoms now and also help reduce prostate size over time.

Uritin-D Tablet MR is a fixed-dose combination tablet, so each tablet delivers the labeled amount of both tamsulosin and dutasteride together. Since this exact strength is the only Uritin-D Tablet MR version listed, it is intended for patients whose doctor has already decided that this combination strength is appropriate rather than for self-starting or adjusting on your own. The MR tablet format is meant to be taken as prescribed, with the alpha-blocker part often helping symptoms sooner while dutasteride works more gradually.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
• Trouble starting urination
• Weak urine stream
• Frequent or urgent urination
• Night-time urination from BPH

• Swallow Uritin-D Tablet MR whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your prescriber specifically says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to keep a steady effect.
• You may take it with or without food if your doctor has not given different instructions.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when you first start, because dizziness can happen.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Handle the tablet carefully and wash hands after contact if a damaged tablet leaks powder, especially if someone who is or may become pregnant handles it.

Uritin-D Tablet MR provides the labeled dose of tamsulosin plus dutasteride in each tablet, and the exact tablet strength should be used only as prescribed. It is usually taken once daily, and you should not take more than 1 tablet in 24 hours unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Your doctor decides the right dose and duration based on your symptoms, prostate size, other medicines, and how you respond.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
