Contiflo XL contains tamsulosin HCl 0.4mg, an alpha-blocker that relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urinary flow.
Mechanism of Action:
Tamsulosin blocks alpha1 receptors responsible for smooth muscle contraction in the lower urinary tract. This alleviates BPH symptoms of frequent/urgent urination.
Dosing Guidelines:
- 0.4mg orally once daily, taken 30 minutes after eating
- Effects may take 2-3 days, max effect by 2 weeks
- Extended-release allows steady, 24-hour symptom relief
- Requires dose adjustment in severe kidney or liver disease
Safety Warnings:
- Care with sulfonamide allergy history due to cross-sensitivity
- Increased risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (cataracts)
- Do not donate blood for 48 hours post-final dose
- Discontinue if signs of liver injury seen
Under medical guidance, Contiflo XL can substantially relieve obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms caused by BPH with once-daily oral dosing convenience.
