Product Overview
Composition: Tamsulosin (400mcg)
URIMAX 0.4MG CAPSULE contains Tamsulosin which belongs to the group of medicines called Alpha blockers. It is used in men to treat the signs and symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
BPH (also known enlarged prostate) is an abnormal growth or enlargement of prostate gland in aging men. It is caused primarily due to increased production of a stress hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Symptoms includes difficulty in passing urine, urinary incontinence (unintentional passing of urine), frequent urination at night, sexual dysfunction or painful ejaculation. During treatment with URIMAX 0.4MG CAPSULE, your doctor will constantly monitor your blood pressure and PSA levels (prostate specific antigen) to avoid the risk of unwanted side effects.
Before taking URIMAX 0.4MG CAPSULE inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have cataract or glaucoma surgery in the upcoming days.

How It works
Urimax 0.4 Capsule MR is an alpha blocker. It works by relaxing the muscles around the bladder exit and prostate gland so urine is passed more easily. This helps empty the bladder completely and reduces the need to pass urine frequently or urgently in BPH.
What if you forget to take?
