The drug TAMSTER contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Finasteride
UNII 57GNO57U7G - FINASTERIDE
|
|
Finasteride is a competitive inhibitor of human 5α-reductase, an intracellular enzyme which metabolises testosterone into the more potent androgen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), enlargement of the prostate gland is dependent upon the conversion of testosterone to DHT within the prostate. Finasteride is highly effective in reducing circulating and intraprostatic DHT. Finasteride has no affinity for the androgen receptor. |
|
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. |
