How Toltam Products work
Tamsulosin + Tolterodine is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin + Tolterodine1 and Tamsulosin + Tolterodine2 which relieve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tamsulosin + Tolterodine1 is an alpha-blocker while Tamsulosin + Tolterodine2 is an antimuscarinic. They work by relaxing the muscle around the bladder exit and prostate gland so urine is passed more easily. This prevents frequent, urgent or uncontrolled urination.
