Description
Trade name:
Omnic Ocas
Compound:
Each tablet contains:
Tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.4 mg
Auxiliary components:
Macrogol, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose.
Properties:
Alpha1-adrenergic receptor blocker; agent for the symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Selectively blocks postsynaptic 1A-adrenoreceptors of smooth muscles of the prostate gland, bladder neck, prostatic urethra. As a result, the tone of the smooth muscles of the above formations decreases, and urine outflow 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.
Tamsulosin has a significantly less pronounced ability to block 1B-adrenergic receptors of vascular smooth muscles, so its 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 specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.
The recommended dose is 1 tablet per day, at the same time.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to tamsulosin.
Precautions:
Use with caution in patients prone to arterial hypotension and in cases of severe liver dysfunction.
Before initiating therapy with tamsulosin, the patient should be examined for other diseases that may cause the same symptoms as benign prostatic hyperplasia. A digital rectal examination and, if necessary, determination of prostate-specific antigen should be performed before initiating treatment and regularly during therapy. No dosage adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery:
During the treatment period, it is necessary to refrain from engaging in potentially dangerous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.
