At BluepillExpress, we are committed to providing high-quality, reliable, and efficient third-party manufacturing services for a wide range of pharmaceutical products, including combination therapies for urological health. One such vital combination is Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Modified Release) & Finasteride, a clinically approved treatment primarily used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This dual-action medication offers both symptomatic relief and progression control of the enlarged prostate condition.
By choosing BluepillExpress as your third-party manufacturing partner, pharmaceutical brands and healthcare companies gain access to cutting-edge technology, global-standard manufacturing infrastructure, and regulatory-compliant production processes. We specialize in manufacturing modified-release formulations that demand precision, scientific rigor, and GMP-compliant protocols.
Product Overview: Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (MR) & Finasteride
1. Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Modified Release)
Tamsulosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, specifically targeting the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck to relax it, thereby improving urine flow and reducing BPH-related symptoms such as difficulty in urination, weak stream, and nocturia. The modified-release (MR) version ensures that the active ingredient is released gradually into the bloodstream, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects.
2. Finasteride
Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate enlargement. By lowering DHT levels, Finasteride helps shrink the prostate over time and prevents disease progression.
3. Combination Therapy
This combination works synergistically—Tamsulosin provides rapid symptomatic relief, while Finasteride addresses the root cause of prostate growth. The fixed-dose combination is clinically proven to be more effective than monotherapy in moderate to severe BPH cases.

Formulating modified-release drugs requires scientific sophistication. Our pharmaceutical R&D and formulation scientists are highly skilled in designing polymer-coated granules, osmotic-controlled release systems, and matrix-based tablets to deliver precise pharmacokinetics for Tamsulosin MR.
Formulation Development & Technology
The development of a fixed-dose combination of Tamsulosin MR and Finasteride demands careful attention to:
- Dissolution profiles
- Drug-drug interaction control
- Bioavailability enhancement
- pH-independent drug release
We utilize advanced excipients, enteric coatings, and controlled-release polymers to ensure that Tamsulosin is released gradually, while Finasteride is absorbed efficiently, providing full therapeutic benefit.
Our R&D team works closely with our partners to customize:
- Dissolution profiles
- Taste-masking features
- Tablet size and shape
