Urisurge Tablet PR

Urisurge Tablet PR is a prescription tablet containing tamsulosin as labelled in each tablet. It belongs to the alpha blockers class and is used to help relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). By relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, Urisurge Tablet PR can make it easier to pass urine and may reduce hesitancy, weak stream, and frequent urination.

How it works: Tamsulosin in Urisurge Tablet PR blocks alpha-1 receptors in the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck, which helps those muscles relax. As a tablet, it delivers the medicine orally in a prolonged-release form so the effect is spread out over time.

Urisurge Tablet PR is a prolonged-release tablet, so the medicine is released more gradually than an immediate-release tablet. That slower release can help provide steadier symptom control and may be preferred when a doctor wants once-daily tamsulosin treatment with less peak-related dizziness. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this product should be used exactly as the prescriber directs and fits standard tamsulosin dosing only if the labeled strength matches the prescribed dose.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Urinary hesitancy
• Weak urine stream
• Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
• Frequent urination, especially at night

• Swallow Urisurge Tablet PR whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it after the same meal each day, usually after the same meal in the morning if that is how your doctor instructs you.
• Do not take it on an empty stomach, because food helps control how the tablet is absorbed.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not take extra tablets to make it work faster.
• If you miss a dose, take the next dose at the regular time unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Stand up slowly after taking Urisurge Tablet PR because it can cause dizziness or lightheadedness.

Each Urisurge Tablet PR tablet contains tamsulosin as labelled and is a prolonged-release dose for once-daily use. The usual schedule for tamsulosin tablets is one tablet once daily after the same meal, and the doctor decides the exact regimen; do not exceed the prescribed daily dose, and do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours unless told otherwise by your clinician.

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