Urofi 5 mg Capsule

This is the combination of Finasteride, a specific inhibitor of steroid Type II 5a-reductase and Tadalafil, a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5).Finasteride is a specific inhibitor of steroid Type II 5a-reductase which is an intracellular enzyme that converts the androgen testosterone into 5 a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride lowers the level of DHT hormone (dihydrotestosterone), which is a cause of prostate growth. Lowering DHT leads to shrinkage of the enlarged prostate gland in men.Tadalafil is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5). Tadalafil may reduce Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called PDE5 (phosphodiesterase 5), which relaxes the smooth muscles of the prostate that surrounds the urethra resulting in the release of the restriction to the flow of urine through the urethra.
