Tamsulosin and dutasteride are medications combined for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. Tamsulosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist that relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces the size of the prostate gland. The combination is used to improve urinary symptoms and is approved and widely used clinically.
