Urisolin Dfz Capsules

Urider DFZ capsule contains:

• Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (0.4 mg, Prolonged Release): An alpha-1A adrenergic receptor antagonist.
• Deflazacort (30 mg): A corticosteroid.

Therapeutic Class: Combination of an alpha-blocker (Tamsulosin) and a corticosteroid (Deflazacort).

Uses:

• Kidney Stones: Primarily used to facilitate the passage of kidney stones by relaxing bladder and prostate muscles (Tamsulosin) and reducing kidney inflammation (Deflazacort), promoting stone expulsion through urine. It also helps relieve associated pain, swelling, and inflammation.
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Tamsulosin alleviates urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, and frequent/urgent urination by relaxing prostate and bladder neck muscles.
• Inflammatory Conditions: Deflazacort manages inflammation and autoimmune conditions by suppressing immune responses and reducing swelling, pain, and allergic reactions.

Mechanism of Action:

• Tamsulosin: Targets alpha-1A receptors in the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder neck, causing relaxation to improve urine flow and ease kidney stone passage.
• Deflazacort: Inhibits inflammatory pathways, reducing inflammation and modulating immune responses, which aids in kidney stone expulsion and manages inflammatory conditions.

Dosage and Administration:

• Recommended Dose: One capsule (Tamsulosin 0.4 mg + Deflazacort 30 mg) once daily, preferably after a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal side effects.
• Administration: Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it. Take at the same time daily for optimal results.
• Duration: As prescribed by the healthcare provider, based on the patient’s condition and response. Typically used for short-term treatment (e.g., up to 5 days for kidney stones, under medical supervision).
• Note: Dosage adjustments may be needed for patients with kidney or liver issues. Always follow the doctor’s instructions.
