Jalyn (dutasteride and tamsulosin) – Treatment for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

Common Use

Jalyn combines dutasteride and tamsulosin to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. Dutasteride reduces prostate size by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), while tamsulosin relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow.

Dosage and Direction

Take one capsule daily.

Swallow the capsule whole with water.

Can be taken with or without food.

Do not crush or chew the capsule.

Precautions

Inform your doctor of liver problems, low blood pressure, prostate cancer, or a history of fainting.

Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.

Continue routine prostate screenings; Jalyn does not prevent prostate cancer.
