tamsulosin hydrochloride product information and its uses

A: Tamsulosin blocks alpha receptors in the muscle of the prostate gland, which causes the muscle in the prostate to relax. This allows urine to flow freely past the prostate and relieves the urinary symptoms. The drug is given for the symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarging of the prostrate) which can cause pressing on the urethra and obstructing the flow of urine from the bladder. This can cause various urinary symptoms, such as difficulty passing urine.

Q: use of capsules DUTAS- T for BPH second stage?
my grandpa is aged 68. for the last 15 days, he has been taking capsules DUTAS- T (a combination of two different capsules) to cope with his prostrate problem(BPH 2nd stage). he wishes to know if will have any bad effect on his health if taken regularly (1 pair a day) for months.

the DUTASTERIDE capsule contains 0.5mg of DUTASTERIDE and this TAMSULOSIN capsule contains 0.4mg of TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE.

A: Dutasteride is used for treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This is when the prostate is enlarged in men and causes problems with urinating. Dutasteride is similar to Finasteride (the active ingredient in Propecia and Proscar) with the way that it inhibits DHT. Dutas (Generic Avodart) shrinks the enlarged prostate over time and brings relief from the symptoms commonly associated with BPH.

Dosage
Take dutasteride exactly as directed by your doctor. Take each dose with a full glass of water and swallow the capsules whole. Do not chew, crush or break the capsules. Dutasteride can be taken with or without food.

Side effects
The most common side effects are impotence (trouble getting or keeping an erection), a decrease in libido (sex drive), breast enlargement and tenderness (gynecomastia), a decrease in the amount of semen released during sex. These side effects usually decrease or disappear with continued usage, or stopping the medication altogether.

Precautions
Do not stop taking dutasteride without first talking to your doctor. While some men have fewer problems and symptoms after 3 months of treatment with dutasteride, a treatment period of at least 6 months is usually necessary to see if treatment with dutasteride will be beneficial.

Q: I have no urge to urinate iam worried some advice please?
Well i have had a few pints of water today and when i went to the toilet i only lost about 250ml that afte going twice with a small amount lost and one where i lost 150ml.

Whats worrying me is i dont feel as if i need to go the toilet iam not getting the urge too. Is this because my bladder isnt full or because something is not right.

I have not long had a rigid cystoscopy and iam on Tamsulosin Hydrochloride. Does urinary retention mean that you get the urge to go the toilet but you cant or does it mean that you dont get the urge to urinate at all.

I have had a pint of water iam on another and the last time i went was about 3pm i havent been or had the urge to go since.
I was also diagnosed with a moderately tight bladder neck by the urologist which is why iam on meds.

A: As you are under a urologist and on medication connected with urinary problems, I would think the best thing is to speak to your doctor. Phone him and see if he can talk to you over the phone if you can’t find the time to make an appointment
