SamJones Tamsulosin XL 400mcg x10

SamJones Tamsulosin XL 400mcg is an extended-release formulation of tamsulosin, a selective alpha-1A adrenoceptor antagonist. This medication is primarily used to manage the troublesome urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. By selectively relaxing the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck, SamJones Tamsulosin XL helps improve urine flow and reduce BPH-related urinary difficulties.

Benefits

How It Works

Tamsulosin selectively antagonizes alpha-1A adrenoceptors, which are predominantly found in the prostate, bladder neck, and urethra. By relaxing the smooth muscle in these areas, it reduces bladder outlet obstruction and improves urine flow, thereby relieving the symptoms of BPH.

Interaction

• May interact with other alpha-blocker medications used to treat high blood pressure or BPH
• Caution is advised when used with CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitors, as they can increase tamsulosin exposure

Important Information

Take SamJones Tamsulosin XL 400mcg as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole and do not crush, chew, or break it, as this may affect the extended-release properties. It’s important to continue taking the medication even if you feel better, as symptoms may return if treatment is stopped. Consult your doctor if you experience any persistent or bothersome side effects.
