Block Alpha 0.4 mg 30 capsules

Trade name:

Block Alpha

Block alpha

Composition:

Each capsule contains:

Tamsulosin 0.4 mg

Properties:

Α1-adrenergic receptor blocker; a remedy for the symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Selectively blocks postsynaptic α1A-adrenergic receptors of smooth muscles of the prostate gland, bladder neck, prostatic urethra. As a result, the tone of the smooth muscles of these formations decreases, and the outflow of urine is facilitated. At the same time, the symptoms of obstruction and irritation associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia are reduced. The therapeutic effect appears approximately 2 weeks after the start of treatment.

The ability to block α1B-adrenergic receptors of vascular smooth muscles is much less pronounced in tamsulosin, therefore the effect on systemic blood pressure is insignificant.

Indications:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Method of administration and dosage:

The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly observe the compliance of the used dosage form of a particular drug with the indications for use and the dosage regimen.

Inside – 0.4 mg 1 time / day (after breakfast).

Contraindications:

Hypersensitivity to tamsulosin.

Precautionary measures:

Use with caution in patients prone to arterial hypotension, with severe liver dysfunction.

Before starting tamsulosin therapy, the patient should be examined for other diseases that can cause the same symptoms as benign prostatic hyperplasia. Before starting treatment and regularly during therapy, a digital rectal examination and, if necessary, determination of a specific antigen of the prostate should be performed. In patients with impaired renal function, changes in the dosage regimen are not required.
