Tamcontin 0.4 Tablet 10

TAMCONTIN 0.4 Tablet 10 is used for the following:

• Managing the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia in adult men: This medicine helps with symptoms such as difficulty in starting urination, weak urine flow, and frequent or urgent need to urinate.
• Decreasing the resistance to urine flow: Alfatam helps ease the process of urination by relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder.
• Providing relief from nocturia: This medication is effective in reducing the increased frequency of urination at night.
• Addressing the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying: The medicine aids in overcoming this common symptom associated with an enlarged prostate.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or open the tablet, as it can interfere with its extended-release properties.
• Avoid adjusting your dosage or stopping the medication without consulting your doctor first.

TAMCONTIN 0.4 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

TAMCONTIN 0.4 Tablet 10 contains Tamsulosin (0.4 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Alpha-1 Receptor Blocking: Tamsulosin specifically blocks alpha-1 receptors found in smooth muscle cells within your prostate gland and bladder neck. This action leads to the relaxation of these muscles.
• Improving Urine Flow: With the alpha-1 receptors blocked, there's less resistance to urine flow, making it easier for you to urinate.
• Targeted Action: The high affinity of Tamsulosin for the alpha-1A adrenergic receptor subtype, primarily located in the prostate, enhances its therapeutic effect in managing BPH symptoms while minimising potential side effects related to blood pressure.

• Store your TAMCONTIN 0.4 Tablet 10 in its original package to shield it from light.
• Ensure the storage area's temperature stays below 30°C.
• Keep this medicine out of children's reach for safety reasons.
• Always remember to use the tablet before its expiry date.

• Regularly engage in physical exercise. This helps foster a healthy urinary system, beneficial for those taking TAMCONTIN 0.4 Tablet 10 for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
• Limit caffeine and alcohol intake. These substances can worsen urinary symptoms associated with BPH, hence decreasing the efficacy of TAMCONTIN 0.4 Tablet 10.
