URIMAX 0.4MG CAP

About

URIMAX 0.4mg Capsule contains Tamsulosin, an alpha-1A adrenergic receptor antagonist specifically designed to treat the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by selectively blocking alpha-1A receptors in the smooth muscles of the prostate gland and bladder neck, leading to relaxation of these muscles. This relaxation reduces the obstruction of urine flow, thereby improving urinary symptoms such as hesitancy, weak stream, urgency, and nocturia.

Tamsulosin does not shrink the prostate but effectively alleviates the bothersome urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate, improving the patient's quality of life. It is typically taken once daily for sustained relief.
