The drug DUTAMSUL contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Dutasteride
UNII O0J6XJN02I - DUTASTERIDE
|
|
Dutasteride reduces circulating levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by inhibiting both type 1 and type 2, 5α-reductase isoenzymes which are responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT. |
|
2
Tamsulosin
UNII 11SV1951MR - TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE
|
|
Tamsulosin binds selectively and competitively to post-synaptic α1-adrenoreceptors, prevailingly their subtypes designated α1A and α1D. Thus relaxation of smooth muscles of the prostate and urethra is achieved, which leads to a reduction of tonus and an improvement of the urinary flow. |
