About Flodart Plus Capsule

Flodart Plus Capsule is a combination drug containing 'urinary bladder relaxant' medication, used primarily in treating the enlarged prostate gland. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused due to overproduction of a dihydrotestosterone hormone in men.

Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH).
