Veltam Plus 0.4 mg Tablet

Veltam Plus 0.4 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains tamsulosin 0.4 mg plus dutasteride in each tablet. It belongs to the alpha blocker combination used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate. By helping relax the prostate and reducing prostate size over time, Veltam Plus 0.4 mg Tablet can ease urinary symptoms such as a weak stream, frequent urination, and trouble starting. It is not for sudden relief of acute urinary blockage.

How it works: Tamsulosin in the Veltam Plus 0.4 mg Tablet relaxes muscle around the prostate and bladder neck, which helps urine pass more easily. Dutasteride lowers the hormone that can enlarge the prostate over time, so the tablet works both for current symptoms and long-term control.

Veltam Plus 0.4 mg Tablet is a standard prescription strength for men who need both symptom relief and longer-term prostate shrinkage treatment. Compared with single-ingredient lower-intensity options, this tablet combines tamsulosin 0.4 mg for urinary flow symptoms with dutasteride for ongoing prostate size reduction, so a doctor may choose it when one medicine alone is not enough. It is not a higher-dose tablet to self-adjust; it should be used only when a clinician has decided this combination is appropriate.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
• Urinary hesitancy

Each Veltam Plus 0.4 mg Tablet provides tamsulosin 0.4 mg in a fixed-dose combination with dutasteride. It is usually taken once daily, and the doctor decides the exact schedule based on symptoms and response; do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours unless specifically instructed. This is a prescription-strength BPH medicine, so the dose should not be changed on your own.

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