Efficacy & effects

Improvement of voiding symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia

  • Urinary disorders
View approved original text

Urinary disorders due to benign prostatic hyperplasia mainly refer to symptoms where the enlarged prostate compresses the urethra, making it difficult to urinate. This medication helps by reducing the size of the prostate or improving urinary function, allowing urine to flow more easily. It alleviates symptoms such as a weak urinary stream or interruptions during urination, reduces the sensation of residual urine, and improves the discomfort of having to urinate frequently. It aids patients in achieving more comfortable urination. Therefore, it is used for the treatment of urinary disorders caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia.

How to take

Adult dose

Adults: Take 0.4mg of tamsulosin hydrochloride orally once daily after a meal. Swallow this medicine whole; do not crush or chew it.

Additionally, patients with severely impaired kidney function, the elderly, and those taking specific antihypertensive agents or alpha-1 blockers, PDE5 inhibitors, or CYP3A4 inhibitors should use this medication cautiously, and particularly, those on alpha-1 blockers should generally not use it concurrently, but if necessary, should be closely monitored.

Rarely, syncope due to low blood pressure, allergic reactions, liver function abnormalities, and priapism have been reported.

Moreover, this medication is in a sustained-release form and should be swallowed whole, not chewed, and should be taken directly from the PTP packaging. Overdosing on this medication can lead to severe drops in blood pressure, so the prescribed dosage must be adhered to.
