Geritam 0.4 Tablet 10 contains tamsulosin (0.4 mg), which works in the body as follows:

• Alpha-1 Receptor Blockade: Tamsulosin specifically blocks alpha-1 receptors found in the smooth muscles surrounding the bladder neck and prostate gland, preventing these muscles from contracting.

• Muscle Relaxation: By blocking these receptors, tamsulosin helps relax the smooth muscles in the prostate area and urethra, making it easier for urine to flow through.

• Symptom Relief: This relaxation effect reduces the pressure on the urethra, decreasing the uncomfortable urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate without actually shrinking the gland itself.

• Store Geritam 0.4 Tablet 10 in its original packaging at room temperature (not exceeding 30°C).

• Keep away from direct light, moisture, and heat.

• Keep out of sight and reach of children.

• Do not use the medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Limit evening fluids: Reduce drinking fluids (especially caffeine and alcohol) in the evening hours to help decrease nighttime urination frequency associated with prostate enlargement.

• Regular exercise: Include moderate physical activity like walking or swimming in your routine, as it may help reduce urinary symptoms related to an enlarged prostate.
