Targeted Conditions

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — enlarged prostate in adult men.

  • Components studied separately: Dutasteride: Investigated for male pattern hair loss.

Drug Classification Overview

Jalyn combines two medications:
• Dutasteride: A 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, shrinking the prostate over time.
• Tamsulosin: An alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow.
Together, they provide both short-term symptom relief and long-term prostate reduction.
