Tampil 0.4 Capsule

Tampil 0.4 Capsule contains Tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.4 mg (modified/extended release) capsule. Prescription required.

Treatment of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) such as difficulty in urination, weak stream, frequent urination and incomplete bladder emptying; may be used to aid passage of ureteric stones as advised by doctor

Tamsulosin is a selective alpha-1A adrenergic receptor blocker that relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck. This improves urine flow and reduces BPH-related urinary symptoms.

Take as prescribed, usually 1 capsule once daily, preferably after the same meal each day (commonly after breakfast). Swallow whole with water; do not crush or open the capsule. If a dose is missed, take the next dose at the usual time.
