Product Introduction

Tasulin 0.4mg Tablet contains Tamsulosin, an alpha-adrenergic antagonist. In men, it is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), which includes difficulty in urinating, painful urination, and urinary frequency and urgency. It also reduces tension in the muscles of the prostate and urethra. Tasulin belongs to the class of alpha-blockers and works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder to allow urine to flow easily.

Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to Tamsulosin or any other ingredients of this medicine, or if angioedema (swelling due to allergic reaction) occurs after use of some drugs. Inform your physician if you have serious liver infection, suffer from dizziness, or have experienced malaise during or after urination (micturition syncope). If you are planning to undergo cataract or glaucoma surgery, inform your doctor that you are taking or have recently taken Tasulin 0.4mg Tablet.

Exercise caution if you have severely impaired renal function, as clinical studies contain insufficient data about patients with severe renal impairment. In case of dizziness, sit down or lie down until these signs disappear. Report to your physician if there is a drop in blood pressure with long-term use.

Uses

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

How it works

Tamsulosin, an alpha-1A adrenoceptor antagonist, selectively blocks sympathetic nervous stimulation of the receptor resulting in relaxation of the smooth muscles of the prostate, prostatic urethra, and bladder neck for improvement in urine flow rate and a reduction in symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It binds selectively and competitively to the postsynaptic alpha-1 adrenoceptor, particularly to subtypes alpha1A and alpha1D. It brings about the relaxation of prostatic and urethral smooth muscle
