Urilosin 0.4 mg Capsule

Urilosin 0.4 mg Capsule is a prescription medicine that contains 0.4 mg of tamsulosin in each capsule. It belongs to the alpha blocker class and is used to help relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By relaxing the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck, Urilosin 0.4 mg Capsule can make it easier to urinate. This product is the 0.4 mg capsule strength from Leeford Healthcare Limited, packed in strips/boxes of 10 capsules.

How it works: Tamsulosin in Urilosin 0.4 mg Capsule blocks alpha-1 receptors in the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck. This relaxes the urinary outlet so urine can flow more easily and with less straining.

Urilosin 0.4 mg Capsule is a standard tamsulosin strength and is commonly the dose doctors start with for many men with BPH. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this capsule represents the available dosing option and is used when a doctor feels this tamsulosin strength is appropriate for the patient’s symptoms and health status.
