Flowel Plus 30 Capsules: Treatment for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Flowel Plus (commonly misspelled as Flower Plus) is a dual-action prescription medication formulated for men suffering from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate. It combines two powerful active ingredients to provide both immediate relief and long-term management of prostate symptoms.
How Flowel Plus Works
This medication contains a combination of Tamsulosin and Dutasteride:
- Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (0.4mg): This is an alpha-blocker that works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate gland and the bladder neck. This helps to improve urine flow and reduce the feeling of urgency.
- Dutasteride (0.5mg): This is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking the production of a hormone that causes the prostate to grow. Over time, it helps to shrink the enlarged prostate gland.
What is Flowel Plus Used For?
Flowel Plus is used to treat and prevent the progression of BPH symptoms, such as:
- Frequent urination, especially at night.
- Difficulty starting urination.
- Weak or interrupted urine stream.
- A feeling that the bladder is not completely empty.
Dosage and Administration
The standard dosage for Flowel Plus is one capsule taken orally once daily. It is recommended to take the capsule approximately 30 minutes after the same meal every day.
Important: The capsules must be swallowed whole. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsules, as the contents may irritate your mouth or throat.
Flowel Plus Side Effects and Safety
While effective, some users may experience side effects. Common ones include dizziness, decreased libido, or minor skin irritation.
Warning for Women: Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle Flowel Plus capsules. Dutasteride can be absorbed through the skin and may cause harm to a developing male fetus.
