It is the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. When your prostate gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary issues like difficulties passing pee and a frequent or urgent need to use the restroom.

Working

Tamsulosin and Finasteride are the two components that make up Veltam. Together, these two medications treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and its accompanying symptoms.

Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker.Tamsulosin works by relaxing the muscle that surrounds the opening of the bladder and the prostate gland.

Further, in turn it makes it easier to pass urine.

Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that assists in shrinking the prostate gland by reducing the hormone level that promotes prostate gland growth.

It is accomplished by decreasing the level of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme itself.
