Urimax D Tablet MR

Urimax D Tablet MR is a prescription tablet that contains tamsulosin and dutasteride in the strength shown on the pack. It belongs to the alpha blocker class, and the combination is used to treat the urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate. Urimax D Tablet MR can help improve urine flow, reduce hesitancy, and lower the chance of worsening symptoms over time.

How it works: Tamsulosin relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, which makes it easier for urine to pass. Dutasteride lowers the hormone that can cause the prostate to enlarge, and because Urimax D Tablet MR is a tablet, both medicines are taken together in one oral dose for daily treatment.

Urimax D Tablet MR is a combination tablet, so it is meant for people who need both quick symptom relief from tamsulosin and longer-term prostate shrinkage support from dutasteride. Compared with lower-strength or single-ingredient options, this tablet is chosen when a doctor wants one product to address both urine flow symptoms and the enlarged prostate itself. It is not meant to be started casually or used as a simple over-the-counter urinary remedy.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Trouble starting urination
• Weak urine stream
• Frequent urination, especially at night
• Incomplete bladder emptying

• Swallow Urimax D Tablet MR whole with water.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically tells you to.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses.
• Follow the exact timing your doctor recommends; this medicine is often taken once daily.
• If you miss a dose, take the next dose at the usual time; do not double up.
• Avoid changing when you take it without medical advice, because tamsulosin can sometimes cause dizziness or a blood pressure drop when you stand up.

Urimax D Tablet MR provides the labeled dose of tamsulosin plus dutasteride in each tablet. In most patients, it is taken once daily, and the usual maximum is 1 tablet per day unless the prescriber gives a different plan. Your doctor decides whether this specific strength is appropriate based on prostate size, symptom severity, and how you tolerate treatment.

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

Common side effects of Tamsulosin + Dutasteride may include:

• Dizziness, especially when standing up
• Drowsiness or tiredness
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Decreased sex drive
• Erectile or ejaculation problems
• Breast tenderness or enlargement
• Mild stomach upset

• This is a prescription-strength combination tablet and may be more suitable for people who need both symptom relief and prostate-size treatment.
• It can cause dizziness or a drop in blood pressure, so stand up slowly and be careful with driving until you know how it affects you.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, low blood pressure, or a history of fainting.
• Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to tamsulosin, dutasteride, or other ingredients in the tablet.
• Inform your eye surgeon before cataract or glaucoma surgery, because tamsulosin can affect the procedure.
• Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets because dutasteride can be absorbed through the skin.
• Limit alcohol if it worsens dizziness or lightheadedness.

• Other alpha blockers can increase dizziness and low blood pressure.
• PDE-5 inhibitors such as sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil may increase the risk of low blood pressure.
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, clarithromycin, or ritonavir can affect dutasteride or tamsulosin levels.
• Blood pressure medicines and other drugs that lower blood pressure may add to lightheadedness.
• Warfarin and some other medicines may require closer monitoring with tamsulosin-containing therapy.
