CONTIFLO T CAPSULE

Introduction:

Contiflo T Capsule is a combination medicine consisting of the active ingredients Tamsulosin and Tadalafil. It is indicated to treat erectile dysfunction and enlarged prostate glands. 

Erectile dysfunction is a condition that occurs due to insufficient blood flow leading to the inability to hold an erection. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) occurs when prostate glands enlarge and cause urinary symptoms. BPH increases the risk of urinary retention and causes symptoms like urinary obstruction, poor urination and bladder pain.

This medication can lower your blood pressure. Hence it is advisable to sit or lie down if you experience dizziness after taking this medicine.

This combination medication is indicated to treat the following conditions:

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms associated with it
