TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG Capsule (Dutasteride + Tamsulosin HCl) – Dual-Action Treatment for Enlarged Prostate

TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG Capsule by Sanofi-Aventis – Complete BPH & Urinary Symptom Management

TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG Capsule by Sanofi-Aventis contains a combination of Dutasteride 0.5mg and Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (HCl) 0.4mg. This dual-action prescription medicine is used to treat moderate to severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate.

BPH can cause difficulty starting urination, weak urine flow, frequent urination, urgency, nighttime urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. TAMU combines two medicines that work differently: Dutasteride helps reduce prostate enlargement over time, while Tamsulosin relaxes the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow.

This combination can provide both symptom relief and longer-term management of prostate enlargement when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.

What is TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG Capsule?

TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Dutasteride – 0.5mg
• Tamsulosin Hydrochloride – 0.4mg
• Dosage Form: Capsule
• Brand: TAMU
• Manufacturer: Sanofi-Aventis
• Pack Size: 20 Capsules

It is a combination medicine belonging to two different drug classes:

• Dutasteride: 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor
• Tamsulosin: Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker

The combination is designed to address both prostate enlargement and urinary flow symptoms associated with BPH.

Key Benefits of TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG Capsule

✔ Dual-Action BPH Treatment

Combines Dutasteride and Tamsulosin to target BPH through two complementary mechanisms.

✔ Helps Reduce Prostate Enlargement

Dutasteride lowers levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can gradually reduce prostate volume.

✔ Improves Urine Flow

Tamsulosin relaxes smooth muscle around the prostate and bladder neck, helping urine pass more easily.

✔ Helps Relieve BPH Symptoms

May help reduce symptoms such as weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, urgency, frequency, and incomplete bladder emptying.

✔ Helps Reduce the Risk of BPH Progression

Dutasteride can help reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for BPH-related surgery in appropriate patients.

✔ Convenient Combination Therapy

Two active ingredients are provided in a single capsule, which can simplify treatment when both medicines are appropriate.

How Does TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG Work?

TAMU contains Dutasteride and Tamsulosin, which work in different ways.

Dutasteride 0.5MG

Dutasteride inhibits 5-alpha-reductase enzymes, which convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

DHT contributes to prostate growth. By reducing DHT levels, Dutasteride can gradually decrease prostate size and help improve urinary symptoms over time.

Tamsulosin HCl 0.4MG

Tamsulosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker. It relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, reducing resistance to urine flow.

Combined Action

The combination provides:

Dutasteride → reduces prostate size over time

Tamsulosin → relaxes prostate/bladder-neck muscles and improves urine flow

Together, these effects can provide comprehensive management of moderate to severe BPH.

Medical Uses of TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG

Your healthcare professional may prescribe TAMU for:

• Moderate to severe benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Enlarged prostate
• Weak urine stream
• Difficulty starting urination
• Frequent urination
• Urinary urgency
• Nighttime urination
• Incomplete bladder emptying
• Reducing the risk of acute urinary retention
• Reducing the likelihood of BPH-related surgical intervention in appropriate patients

The underlying cause of urinary symptoms should be evaluated before treatment.

Who May Benefit from TAMU?

TAMU may be prescribed for adult men with an enlarged prostate who have:

• Moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms
• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak or interrupted urine flow
• Frequent or urgent urination
• Nighttime urination
• A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
• An enlarged prostate where combination therapy is considered appropriate

Not every urinary symptom is caused by BPH. Your doctor may perform examinations and tests to confirm the diagnosis.

Active Ingredients

Active Ingredient	Strength	Function
Dutasteride	0.5mg	Inhibits 5-alpha-reductase and reduces DHT, helping decrease prostate enlargement
Tamsulosin HCl	0.4mg	Relaxes smooth muscle around the prostate and bladder neck to improve urinary flow

How to Take TAMU 0.5MG / 0.4MG Capsule

• Take TAMU exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• The usual administration is one capsule once daily, according to your healthcare professional's instructions.
• Take the capsule approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day if instructed for your formulation.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water.
• Do not chew, crush, or open the capsule.
• Take the medicine consistently at the recommended time.
• Do not change the dose without medical advice.

The capsule contains Dutasteride, which can be absorbed through the skin. Women, children, and adolescents should avoid handling leaking capsules.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember according to your prescribed schedule.

If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two capsules together to make up for a missed dose.

If treatment has been interrupted for several days, consult your doctor before restarting.

Important: Treatment Takes Time

Tamsulosin may improve urinary symptoms relatively early, while Dutasteride works gradually by reducing DHT and prostate volume.

Do not stop treatment simply because symptoms improve. Long-term treatment may be necessary, and your healthcare professional will determine how long you should continue.

Your doctor will interpret PSA results appropriately while you are receiving treatment.

Important Precaution for Women

TAMU contains Dutasteride, which can be absorbed through the skin.

Keep capsules away from children.

Tamsulosin has been associated with Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS) during cataract surgery.

• Dizziness
