About Tamdosin 0.4 Tablet 10

Tamdosin-0.4 Tablet is primarily used to manage the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. BPH is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that may cause problems with urination. This medicine belongs to a class known as alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blockers.

Beyond its main use, this medicine aids in relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. This can help in better urination, thus improving BPH symptoms like difficulty in starting urination, a weak urine stream, frequent or urgent need to urinate, and the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. However, it does not reduce the size of the prostate or treat high blood pressure or erectile dysfunction.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. Also, if you notice any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. The medicine should be continued for the duration prescribed by your doctor to achieve optimal results.
