Swiftflo D Tablet 10 is primarily used to manage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men who have an enlarged prostate. This medicine is a combination product, belonging to the group of medicines known as 5α-reductase inhibitors and α1-adrenergic blockers.

It also helps improve urinary flow and relieve BPH symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream, and urgency. However, it's important to note that this medicine is not indicated for the prevention of prostate cancer.

You should take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Before you start taking it, make sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or any other ongoing medicines you are taking. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, report them to your doctor immediately. For the best results, continue taking the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor.

Swiftflo D Tablet 10 is used for the following:

Managing symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia in adult men with an enlarged prostate gland
Helping to improve urinary flow
Alleviating symptoms of frequent urination
Aiding in reducing difficulty in starting urination
Addressing the issue of weak urine stream
Relieving urgency and increasing frequency of urination at night, also known as nocturia

Directions for Use of Swiftflo D Tablet 10

Swallow the tablet whole with water.
Avoid chewing, crushing, or opening the tablet to prevent irritation.
Always take this medicine approximately 30 minutes after the same meal every day.
Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.

Swiftflo D Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Taking Swiftflo D Tablet 10 may result in the following side effects:

Impotence: This might lead to difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.
Decreased libido: You might experience reduced sexual desire or interest.
Ejaculation disorders: This could cause a drop in the ejaculate volume.
Breast disorders: You may notice enlargement, tenderness, or pain in the breasts.
Dizziness
Orthostatic Hypotension: This refers to a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up from sitting or lying down.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Swiftflo D Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some simple ways to manage these side effects:

Dizziness: Try taking Swiftflo D Tablet 10 before bedtime to minimise the effects of dizziness during your daily activities.
Orthostatic Hypotension: Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position. This can help your body adjust and prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure.

Swiftflo D Tablet 10 comprises two active ingredients:

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (0.4 mg): This ingredient selectively blocks α1A-adrenergic receptors located in the prostate and bladder neck. Blocking these receptors leads to the relaxation of smooth muscles in these areas, reducing resistance to urine flow. Tamsulosin doesn't shrink the prostate but works by improving urine flow.
Dutasteride (0.5 mg): This component works by inhibiting an enzyme in your body called 5α-reductase. This enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate growth. By reducing levels of DHT, dutasteride helps shrink the size of the prostate over time.

Pregnancy

Swiftflo D Tablet 10 is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Swiftflo D Tablet 10 is contraindicated for breastfeeding/lactating women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Kidney

Using Machines & Driving

Swiftflo D Tablet 10 may cause side effects like dizziness, which can affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. If you experience such symptoms, avoid activities requiring mental alertness until you are sure how the medicine affects you.

Allergy

If you have a known allergy to dutasteride, tamsulosin, or any other ingredients in Swiftflo D Tablet 10, avoid using it. Consult your doctor for alternatives.
