Treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) such as weak urine stream, hesitancy, incomplete bladder emptying, urinary frequency and urgency.
How It Works
Tamsulosin is a selective alpha-1A adrenergic receptor blocker that relaxes smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. This reduces urethral resistance and improves urine flow, relieving BPH symptoms.
Directions for Use
Take by mouth as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day. Swallow the capsule whole; do not crush, chew, or open. Preferably take after the same meal each day to reduce side effects and improve consistency.
Side Effects
Dizziness,postural hypotension (drop in BP on standing),headache,abnormal/retrograde ejaculation,nasal congestion,rhinitis,fatigue
Warnings & Precautions
May cause dizziness or fainting especially after the first dose or dose increases; rise slowly from sitting/lying and avoid driving if dizzy. Use with caution in patients with low blood pressure, severe liver impairment, or severe kidney disease. Inform eye surgeon before cataract/glaucoma surgery due to risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS). Not indicated for women or children. Seek medical help for allergic reactions or prolonged painful erection (priapism).
Drug Interactions
Other alpha-blockers (additive hypotension),PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil/tadalafil (low BP),antihypertensives (additive BP lowering),strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) and CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., paroxetine) may increase tamsulosin levels,cimetidine may increase levels,warfarin (monitor; possible interaction)
