Composition

Tamsulosin (400 Mcg)

Strength:

400 MCG 0.2 MG

Urimax 0.4 Capsule is used to relieve the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH) in men, such as a weak urine flow, difficulty starting to urinate, frequent and night-time urination and a feeling of incomplete emptying. It relieves symptoms but does not shrink the prostate.

It contains tamsulosin, an alpha-blocker. It works by relaxing the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to pass urine.

Take it by mouth as prescribed. Because it can cause dizziness, especially at first, stand up slowly and take care with driving until you know how it affects you.

Tell your doctor about any blood pressure problems or planned eye surgery before starting.

Urimax 0.4 Capsule is used to relieve the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate.

Uses of Urimax 0.4 Capsule are:

Enlarged Prostate: Eases urinary symptoms by relaxing the prostate and bladder-neck muscles.
Urine Flow: Improves urine flow and reduces straining.
Night-Time Urination: Reduces frequent and night-time urination.

Here's how you should take Urimax 0.4 Capsule:

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.
Take it 30 minutes after having the same meal every day, without chewing, crushing, or opening the capsule.
Consistency is key. Ensure you take your dosage at around the same time each day.
It's essential not to stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor first.

Remember, these are general instructions. For a usage plan best suited to your health condition, please consult your doctor.

Urimax 0.4 Capsule is taken orally.

Urimax 0.4 Capsule may cause some side effects that are usually mild and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine.

A few common side effects of Urimax 0.4 Capsule:

Nervous System: Dizziness, lightheadedness and drowsiness, more noticeable when starting.
Respiratory: A runny or blocked nose.
Reproductive: Problems with ejaculation.

If side effects do not improve or become serious, speak to your doctor right away.

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Urimax 0.4 Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dizziness: Try taking Urimax 0.4 Capsule at bedtime to minimise this effect.
Lightheadedness: Consider taking this medicine with food, as it may help reduce this side effect.

Urimax 0.4 Capsule contains Tamsulosin (0.4 mg), which works in your body as follows:

Selective Alpha-1 Adrenergic Receptor Blockage: Tamsulosin targets alpha-1 adrenergic receptors specifically located in your prostate, bladder neck, and urethra. These receptors control muscle contractions in these areas.
Improved Urine Flow: By blocking these receptors, Tamsulosin relaxes the muscles in these areas, which improves urine flow and reduces BPH symptoms.

These actions ensure that Urimax 0.4 Capsule effectively manages the discomforting symptoms associated with BPH while maintaining a steady release of the medicine throughout the day due to its modified release formulation.

Pregnancy

Is it safe to use Urimax 0.4 Capsule during pregnancy?

Urimax 0.4 Capsule is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it's important to discuss this with your doctor before starting on this medicine.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Urimax 0.4 Capsule interacts with the following medicines:

Alpha-blockers: These medicines like terazosin and doxazosin, when taken together with Urimax 0.4 Capsule, may increase the risk of low blood pressure.
Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors: Medicines like sildenafil and tadalafil, used for erectile dysfunction, can enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of Urimax 0.4 Capsule.
Antifungals: Medicines like ketoconazole and itraconazole can increase the concentration of Urimax 0.4 Capsule in the body, leading to increased side effects.
Antibiotics: Certain antibiotics like erythromycin and clarithromycin can also increase the exposure to Urimax 0.4 Capsule, potentially intensifying its side effects.
HIV medications: Protease inhibitors such as ritonavir can increase the levels of Urimax 0.4 Capsule in the body, heightening the risk of side effects.

Drug-Food Interactions

Urimax 0.4 Capsule interacts with grapefruit juice. Consuming grapefruit juice while taking this medicine can increase its concentration in your body, potentially escalating its side effects.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Liver disease: If you have severe liver impairment, you should be cautious as your body's handling of this medication could be affected.
Kidney disease: Similarly, if you have severe kidney problems, your body's ability to process this medicine might be compromised, increasing your risk of side effects.

Daily Dose

The daily dosage of Urimax 0.4 Capsule should be strictly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may be adjusted according to unique factors, such as the patient's response to the medication and the severity of the condition. It's crucial to stick to the prescribed dosage and not exceed it without a doctor's advice.

Over Dose

In the case of an accidental overdose, common symptoms might include dizziness, drowsiness, or feeling lightheaded. If you experience these or similar symptoms after taking more than your prescribed dosage, it's important to inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your dose of Urimax 0.4 Capsule at the right time, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and carry on with your usual schedule. Do not take an extra dose without consulting your doctor.

Keep Urimax 0.4 Capsule in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.
Store it at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C.
Ensure that this medicine is stored out of the reach of children.
Always check the expiry date on the package and ensure you use the medicine before it expires.

Try to limit your intake of fluids, particularly before bedtime, to help manage frequent urination at night, a common symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Limiting caffeine and alcohol can help reduce irritation in the bladder and prostate, which might further improve BPH symptoms.
