Salt Composition
Tamsulosin 0.40 mg + Finasteride 5.00 mg
Product Description
GERIFLO is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Tamsulosin and Finasteride. Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the prostate and urinary tract, facilitating easier urination in men with an enlarged prostate.

This combination provides synergistic benefits in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate. It helps relieve urinary symptoms such as incomplete bladder emptying, frequent urination, and weak urine flow. GERIFLO offers improved urinary function and overall well-being for individuals with BPH.
