How Veltam Plus (Tansulosin and dutasteride) works?

Tamsulosin works as a perfect alpha anti-androgen, and blocks the functionality by binding with the androgenic receptors. This causes a relaxation in smooth muscle and therefore less resistance to urinary flow Androgens such as testosterone are natural male s** hormone.

Dutasteride works as a competitive inhibitor of the 0.5-alpha reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Change of testosterone to DHT done by 0.5-alpha reductase is necessary for prostatic hyperplasia development, thus the Dutasteride drug blocks the conversion.
