Tamsulosin 0.4 mg Tabs (SWASLOSIN 0.4)- GA
₹51.15
Tamsulosin 0.4 mg is a common dosage of a medication used primarily to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). It is available under various brand names, including Flomax.
Key Information
- Primary Use: Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the opening of the bladder, which makes it easier to urinate and helps relieve symptoms like a weak stream, difficulty starting urination, and the need to urinate frequently. It does not shrink the prostate itself.
- Secondary Use: It is also occasionally prescribed off-label to help with the passage of kidney stones in men and women.
- Dosage: The typical starting dose is 0.4 mg taken orally once a day.
- Administration: It should be taken approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day, preferably in the morning. Capsules should be swallowed whole and not crushed, chewed, or opened.
Common Side Effects
Common side effects of tamsulosin may include:
- Dizziness or lightheadedness (especially when standing up)
- Headache
- Abnormal or reduced ejaculation
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Nausea
- Sleep problems
Important Precautions
- Dizziness: Tamsulosin can cause dizziness or drowsiness due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
- Cataract/Glaucoma Surgery: If you are scheduled for eye surgery, inform your eye doctor that you are taking tamsulosin, as it can cause a condition called Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS).
- Alcohol: Drinking alcohol can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect, so it’s best to limit or avoid alcohol until you are used to the medication.
- Kidney/Liver Problems: Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver issues.
Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional for advice and guidance regarding your specific health concerns and medication needs.
