Prostanorm is a combination of two different active substances –  solifenacin and tamsulosin.

Solifenacin belongs to a group of medicines called anticholinergics and tamsulosin belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-blockers.

Solifenacin reduces the undesired contractions of your bladder and increases the amount of urine that your bladder can hold. Tamsulosin enables urine to pass more readily through the urethra and facilitates urination.

Indications

Prostanorm is used in men to treat both moderate to severe storage symptoms and voiding symptoms of the lower urinary tract which are caused by bladder problems and an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). Prostanorm is used when previous treatment with a monoproduct for this condition did not relieve symptoms adequately.

Description

Ferbessa is a fixed combination. Ferbessa is a combination of two active ingredients, perindopril and amlodipine. Perindopril is an ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitor. Amlodipine is a calcium antagonist (which belongs to a class of medicines called dihydropyridines).

Together they work to widen and relax the blood veesels, which results in a reduction of blood pressure. Blood can flow through the body more easily and the heart does not need to work so hard.

• high blood pressure (hypertension) and/or treatment of stable coronary artery disease (a condition where the blood supply to the heart is reduced or blocked).

Subject to medical prescription.
