Tampil 0.4 Capsule MR

Tampil 0.4 Capsule MR is a prescription capsule that contains tamsulosin 0.4 mg in each capsule. It belongs to the alpha blocker class and is used to help relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). Tampil 0.4 Capsule MR works by relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder neck so urine can flow more easily. This pack contains 10 capsules from HiGlance Laboratories.

How it works: Tamsulosin in Tampil 0.4 Capsule MR blocks alpha-1 receptors in the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck. That relaxes these muscles, helping reduce weak stream, hesitancy, and the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

Tampil 0.4 Capsule MR is the 0.4 mg strength, which is the standard starting dose of tamsulosin for many adults with BPH. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this capsule represents the typical daily dose a doctor may choose when beginning treatment or continuing maintenance, depending on response and tolerability.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Urinary hesitancy
• Weak urine stream
• Frequent urination
• Night-time urination from enlarged prostate

• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or open it.
• Take Tampil 0.4 Capsule MR about 30 minutes after the same meal each day, usually after the same meal to keep absorption consistent.
• Do not take it on an empty stomach if your prescriber has told you to take it with food.
• If you miss a dose, take the next dose at the usual time; do not double up.
• Stand up slowly when starting treatment, as dizziness can happen more easily at first.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not change the dose or stop it without medical advice.

Each Tampil 0.4 Capsule MR provides tamsulosin 0.4 mg per capsule. For BPH, it is commonly taken once daily, and the doctor decides whether this is the right dose and timing for you; the usual maximum is 0.8 mg per day unless a prescriber specifically directs otherwise. Because it is the 0.4 mg capsule, it is the standard lower-strength starting point before any dose increase is considered.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
