If the symptoms are mild, you can take only Tamsulosin without Finasteride, if the doctor’s prescription requires the use of both, the doctor’s prescription should prevail.
Tamsulosin is mainly used to relieve urinary disorders caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, and finasteride is mainly used to treat and control benign prostatic hyperplasia, prevent urinary tract diseases, and improve prostate-related symptoms. It is possible to take only one of these when symptoms are mild, and it is better not to take only one of these if your doctor’s orders call for both to be taken at the same time (usually when the condition is more severe).
Adverse reactions such as dizziness, decreased blood pressure, rash, nausea, and vomiting may occur with tamsulosin. The drug is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating women, children, those who are allergic to tamsulosin, and those with renal insufficiency.
Adverse reactions such as hypersensitivity reactions, rhabdomyolysis, muscle weakness, depression, sexual dysfunction may occur with Finasteride. The drug is contraindicated in people who are allergic to finasteride, pregnant and lactating women and children.
