Uses of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR
Benefits of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR
In Treatment of Benign prostatic hyperplasia
When your prostate gland becomes enlarged it can cause urinary problems such as difficulty passing urine and a need to go to the toilet frequently or urgently. It can also cause urine flow to be slower. If not treated, there is a risk that your urine flow will be completely blocked. Tixiflo-D Capsule MR is a combination of two medicines: dutasteride and tamsulosin. Dutasteride reduces the size of your prostate by blocking the production of a hormone which causes it to grow. Tamsulosin works by relaxing muscles in the bladder and prostate. Together they can rapidly relieve the symptoms and make it easier for you to urinate. However, it may take up to 6 months to notice the full benefit. Take this medicine exactly as prescribed for maximum benefits.

FAQs
Tixiflo-D Capsule MR
Is Tixiflo-D Capsule MR effective?
Tixiflo-D Capsule MR is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Tixiflo-D Capsule MR too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Can the use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR cause dizziness?
Yes, the use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR can cause dizziness. Tixiflo-D Capsule MR contains a combination of Tamsulosin and Dutasteride. Tamsulosin can cause a sudden fall in blood pressure while changing posture from lying to sitting or standing (orthostatic hypotension). This sudden fall in blood pressure can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, sensation of spinning and vertigo. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, do not drive or use any machines. It is better to rest for some time and resume once you feel better.
What are the cautions associated with the use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR?
The use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR is considered to be harmful for men under the age of 18 years as it may affect the normal development of the male reproductive tract. The use of this medicine is also considered to be harmful for patients with any known allergy to any of the components of this medicine and in women who are pregnant or of childbearing potential. Along with that, it is important to keep in mind that pregnant women should not even handle Tixiflo-D Capsule MR as the medicine may get absorbed through the skin and cause harm to the fetus.
Is Tixiflo-D Capsule MR safe?
Tixiflo-D Capsule MR is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Take it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.
Can I take a higher than the recommended dose of this medicine?
No, Tixiflo-D Capsule MR should be taken in the recommended dose only. An overdose of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR can increase the risks of side effects. Always take your medicines according to the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor.
What is the storage condition for Tixiflo-D Capsule MR?
Keep this medicine in the container or the pack it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose of the unused medicine. Make sure it is not consumed by pets, children and other people.
Can the use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR cause ejaculation problems?
Retrograde ejaculation (semen does not leave the body, instead goes into the bladder) and ejaculation failure (reduced or absent ejaculation volume) are common problems associated with the use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR. But this is harmless and more commonly seen when the medicine is consumed in high doses.
Can the use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR cause priapism (persistent painful penile erection unrelated to sexual activity)?
Yes, the use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR can cause priapism (painful penile erection). It is a serious but rare side effect associated with the use of this medicine. However, in some cases, it can lead to permanent impotence if not treated immediately.
Can the use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR have any impact on my cataract surgery?
Use of Tixiflo-D Capsule MR can cause floppy eye syndrome. In this, the muscles of the iris become floppy and the pupil constricts unexpectedly during cataract surgery. So, when the eye surgeon actually needs a dilated pupil, the pupil constricts unexpectedly. This restricts the field of surgery because of which the surgical outcomes can get affected. Inform your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if you are taking this medicine or in case you have used this medicine in the last 9 months.
Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
Simple lifestyle changes can help you manage your prostate symptoms better. Try to urinate when you first get the urge. However, take care not to strain or push while urinating. Avoid drinking fluids (especially alcohol, caffeine) a few hours before bedtime or going out. You should also avoid medicines which tend to worsen urinary symptoms like some over-the-counter medicines for cold and cough.
