CompositionGERITAM 0.4 TABLET 10 is a medicine used to ease the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in men. It helps improve urine flow and relieve symptoms such as difficulty passing urine, leakage, and frequent urination at night.
It belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-blockers, which relax the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck so that urine can pass more easily. Take it as directed by your doctor, usually after the same meal each day, and continue for the duration prescribed.
Some simple measures can help alongside this medicine. These include reducing fluids in the evening, limiting caffeine and alcohol, and not delaying urination when you feel the need.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any other medicines you take, and whether you are due to have cataract eye surgery. As it can lower blood pressure, you may feel dizzy or drowsy, especially when standing up quickly or when you first start treatment, so rise slowly and take care when driving until you know how it affects you.
