Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules)

Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules) used

Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules) are used to treat functional symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate gland. Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules) relieve the symptoms of urinary retention caused by restricted urine flow as the prostate becomes enlarged and presses against the urethra (urine outlet tube from the bladder), which helps urine to flow more easily, prevents urine backlog in the bladder and restores bladder control. This relieves symptoms like need for frequent urination, inability to empty the bladder, strain and difficulty passing urine. The improved urine flow and reduction in symptoms may reduce the need for surgery.

Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules) work

Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules) contain tamsulosin, an alpha1-blocker (also known as alpha-adrenergic antagonist), that binds selectively to the alpha adrenergic receptor in smooth muscle of the prostate gland and blocks the action of naturally occurring adrenergic chemicals like noradrenaline which causes smooth muscle cells to contract and tighten. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is due to overgrowth of the smooth muscle cells within the prostate gland and increased muscle tone of these cells. Tamsulosin in Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules) relaxes these muscle cells which relieves the pressure exerted by the enlarged prostate gland on the urethra (urine outlet tube from the bladder); and also causes muscle cells in the neck of the bladder to relax. The action of Tamsulosin in Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules) removes the blockage to urine flow caused by the prostate gland and allows urine to flow more freely through the urethra; it also relaxes the bladder neck, allowing urine to pass out of the bladder more easily. Urimax (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules) are formulated for modified release, which means that the rate of absorption of the active ingredient tamsulosin into your blood is controlled and you need only take one capsule a day.
