Tasoltripis a combination of two different medications called solifenacina and tamsulosina in a tablet. Solifenacina belongs to a group of medications called anticholinergics and tamsulosina belongs to a group of medications called alpha-blockers.
Tasoltripis used in men to treat both moderate to severe filling symptoms and emptying symptoms of the lower urinary tract caused by problems related to the bladder and by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia).Tasoltripis used when previous treatment with monotherapy for this condition did not alleviate symptoms sufficiently.
When the prostate becomes enlarged, urinary problems (emptying symptoms) such as delayed urination (difficulty starting urination), reduced urine flow (weak stream), dripping, and sensation of incomplete bladder emptying may occur. At the same time, the bladder is also affected and contracts spontaneously at times when urination is not desired. This causes filling symptoms such as changes in bladder sensation, urgency (a strong and sudden desire to urinate without warning) and having to urinate more frequently.
Solifenacina reduces involuntary bladder contractions and increases the amount of urine that the bladder can store. Therefore, you can expect to wait longer before having to go to the bathroom. Tamsulosina allows urine to pass more easily through the urethra and facilitates urination.
Do not use Tasoltrip if:
Inform your doctor if you think you have any of these conditions.
