TOLTAM is a combination of Tamsulosin and Tolterodine which belongs to the group of medicines called Alpha-blockers and Antimuscarinics respectively. It is used in men to manage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia which is a condition marked by an enlarged prostate gland that pushes against the urethra and the urinary bladder resulting in the blockade of urine flow which is generally characterized by urinary difficulty.
