Maxflow D Capsule

Maxflow D Capsule contains Tamsulosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker used primarily to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. Additionally, Maxflow D contains Dutasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, which reduces the size of the prostate gland, thereby improving urinary symptoms associated with BPH. This combination medication offers a dual mechanism of action, targeting both the relaxation of prostate and bladder neck muscles and the reduction of prostate size.

Uses:

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Maxflow D Capsule is indicated for the treatment of BPH, effectively relieving urinary symptoms such as hesitancy, weak stream, incomplete bladder emptying, and frequent urination.
• Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS): It helps alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms associated with BPH, enhancing urinary flow and reducing the need for frequent urination.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Maxflow D Capsule may include dizziness, headache, decreased libido, abnormal ejaculation (such as decreased semen volume or retrograde ejaculation), and breast tenderness or enlargement. Dutasteride may also cause impotence or breast changes in men. Less common but more serious side effects may include allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, and difficulty breathing.

Precautions:

• Orthostatic Hypotension: Use caution when initiating therapy in patients at risk of orthostatic hypotension, such as those taking antihypertensive medications or with pre-existing hypotension.
• Prostate Cancer Risk: The use of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like Dutasteride may reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer but may also increase the risk of high-grade prostate cancer. Discuss the risks and benefits with a healthcare professional.
• Concomitant Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about all medications, including herbal supplements, that you are taking, as some drugs may interact with Tamsulosin or Dutasteride.

When Not to Use:

• Hypersensitivity: Maxflow D Capsule should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to tamsulosin, dutasteride, or any of the capsule’s ingredients.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Maxflow D Capsule is contraindicated in women, particularly those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to the risk of fetal harm.
