Dutasteride is used alone or in combination with tamsulosin (Flomax®) to treat men who have symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland, which is also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Benign enlargement of the prostate is a problem that can occur in men as they get older.

Veltam 0.4 Tablet 15's belongs to the category of medicine called 'alpha-blocker' primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH (enlarged prostate), and urinary bladder outlet obstruction. It relaxes the prostate gland’s muscles and urinary bladder neck at the obstruction site, resulting in improved urine flow with reduced BPH symptoms. Veltam 0.4 Tablet 15's are for use by men only and not indicated for use in women. Veltam 0.4 Tablet 15's does not cure prostate cancer. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused due to overproduction of a hormone called ‘dihydrotestosterone’ in men. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and frequent urination. Veltam 0.4 Tablet 15's helps in getting relief from these symptoms.
