Urimax 0.4 mg Capsule

Urimax 0.4 mg Capsule is a prescription alpha blocker that contains 0.4 mg of tamsulosin in each capsule. 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. Urimax 0.4 mg Capsule does not shrink the prostate, but it can make it easier to pass urine by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. This product is a capsule, so it is taken by mouth and works throughout the day once it has been absorbed.

How it works: Tamsulosin in Urimax 0.4 mg Capsule blocks alpha-1 receptors in the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck, helping those muscles relax. This opens the urinary passage a bit more, so urine can flow more easily and with less straining.

Urimax 0.4 mg Capsule is the standard tamsulosin strength commonly used when a doctor wants to start treatment at a lower, better-tolerated dose. Compared with higher-strength options, 0.4 mg is generally less likely to cause dizziness or blood-pressure-related side effects, which is why doctors often choose it first. If symptoms do not improve enough, a clinician may consider a different dose or another treatment, but that decision should be based on the person's response and tolerance.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak or interrupted urine stream
• Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
• Frequent urination, especially at night

• Take Urimax 0.4 mg Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it.
• Take it about 30 minutes after the same meal each day, usually after dinner or after the evening meal.
• Keep taking it regularly even if symptoms improve, unless your doctor tells you to stop.
• Stand up slowly after the first doses, as dizziness can happen, especially when getting up from sitting or lying down.

Each Urimax 0.4 mg Capsule provides 0.4 mg of tamsulosin. For adults with BPH, it is commonly taken once daily, and the doctor decides whether this is the right dose and whether any change is needed. Do not take more than one capsule in a day unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to do so.

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

• Alcohol can worsen dizziness and low blood pressure symptoms.
• Tell your doctor if you have low blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, or liver problems.
• Tell your eye surgeon before cataract or glaucoma surgery, because tamsulosin can affect the eye during the procedure.
• This capsule is for BPH symptoms and is not used to treat prostate cancer.
• Do not combine it with other alpha blockers unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• If you miss several doses and restart, the first-dose dizziness effect can return.
