How Dutasteride and Tamsulosin Work
Dutasteride belongs to a group of medicines called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.
An inhibitor that inhibits 5-alpha reductase, an intracellular enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate gland, and reduces the level of DHT in the blood, thus treating the symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
Tamsulosin belongs to a group of medicines called alpha blockers.
Blocking alpha-1 receptors in the lower urinary tract relaxes the smooth muscles in both the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow and reducing symptoms associated with the disease.

Dutasteride and tamsulosin can be used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
