Temsunol Tablet

Temsunol Tablet contains tamsulosin in each tablet and belongs to the alpha blocker class. It is used to help relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH), such as weak stream, hesitancy, and frequent urination. Temsunol Tablet is a prescription medicine made by Knoll Healthcare, India, and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets. It does not shrink the prostate; instead, it helps urine flow more easily by relaxing certain muscles.

How it works: Tamsulosin in Temsunol Tablet relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, which lowers resistance to urine flow. Because it is a tablet, the medicine is taken by mouth and absorbed into the body to help improve urinary symptoms over time.

Temsunol Tablet is a higher-strength tamsulosin tablet, so it is generally suited only for patients a doctor has already assessed and who need this exact strength. Compared with lower-strength tamsulosin options, this tablet may be chosen when the prescriber wants a specific dose that matches the patient’s symptoms and tolerability, rather than starting at a lower amount.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptom relief
• Weak urine stream
• Trouble starting urination
• Urinary hesitancy
• Frequent or urgent urination from prostate enlargement

• Swallow the Temsunol Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually at the same time each day.
• If your doctor tells you to take it after food, follow that instruction to help with absorption and tolerability.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when you first start, because it can lower blood pressure and cause dizziness.
• Do not take extra tablets if you miss a dose; follow your prescriber’s instructions for the next scheduled dose.

Each Temsunol Tablet provides the labeled dose of tamsulosin in one tablet. The exact number of tablets per day is determined by the doctor; do not increase the dose on your own, and the maximum daily amount should not exceed the amount your prescriber has ordered for you.

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