Contiflox XL Capsule (Tamsulosin) is a prolonged-release alpha-blocker medication designed specifically for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This once-daily formulation provides consistent relief from lower urinary tract symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate.
Uses
Contiflox XL is used for treating symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps manage lower urinary tract symptoms such as weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, and frequent nighttime urination.
Benefits
- Improves urinary flow rate significantly
- Reduces urinary urgency and frequency
- Minimizes nighttime bathroom visits
- Relieves urinary hesitation
- Reduces straining while urinating
- Helps achieve complete bladder emptying
- Provides consistent 24-hour symptom relief
- Improves quality of sleep
- Enhances overall quality of life
How It Works
Contiflox XL contains Tamsulosin, which selectively blocks alpha-1 receptors in the prostate and bladder neck. This relaxes smooth muscle tissue, reducing resistance to urine flow without affecting prostate size.
Duration of Action
Initial improvements typically appear within 1-2 weeks. The extended-release formulation maintains consistent drug levels for 24-hour symptom control. Maximum benefits usually achieved within 4-6 weeks.
