Therapeutic Category

Alfuzosin : Alpha-1 adrenergic blockers

Dutasteride: 5-Alpha reductase inhibitors

How Alfuzosin+Dutasteride works

Alfuzosin + Dutasteride effectively reduces the symptoms of BPH, where dutasteride acts by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (a stress hormone that causes BPH) and alfuzosin acts by relaxing the muscles surrounding the bladder and prostate by inhibiting the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors of the lower urinary tract. As a result, it helps in shrinkage of an enlarged prostate, making it easier for the urine to pass through and provide relief from symptomatic BPH.
