Tamsulin 0.4 mg Tablet

Tamsulin 0.4 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 0.4 mg of tamsulosin in each tablet. It belongs to the alpha blocker class and is used to help relieve urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate. Tamsulin 0.4 mg Tablet helps improve urine flow and reduce common BPH symptoms such as weak stream, hesitancy, and frequent urination. It is not used to treat prostate cancer.

How it works: Tamsulosin works by relaxing smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, which makes it easier for urine to pass through. As a tablet, Tamsulin 0.4 mg is taken by mouth and is designed to deliver this medicine systemically for ongoing symptom relief.

Tamsulin 0.4 mg Tablet is the standard starting strength for many adults with BPH, so it is often chosen before any dose increase is considered. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 0.4 mg tablet represents the full product option available and fits typical once-daily tamsulosin dosing.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Weak urine stream
• Difficulty starting urination
• Frequent or urgent urination
• Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying

• Swallow Tamsulin 0.4 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it.
• Take it once daily, usually 30 minutes after the same meal each day, to help steady absorption.
• Take it after the same meal every day rather than on an empty stomach.
• Stand up slowly after sitting or lying down, especially when you first start treatment.
• Do not take extra tablets if you miss a dose; take the next dose at the usual time.
• If you notice dizziness or lightheadedness, avoid driving or other tasks that need alertness until you know how the tablet affects you.

Each Tamsulin 0.4 mg Tablet provides 0.4 mg of tamsulosin, which is a typical starting dose for BPH. It is usually taken once daily, and the doctor decides whether this dose is appropriate or whether any change is needed; do not take more than one tablet per day unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.

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