TamZen

Composition: Tamsulosin 0.4 mg (Prolonged Release Pellets)

Description:

TamZen contains Tamsulosin 0.4 mg, a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist specifically designed for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The prolonged-release pellets provide a steady release of the medication, ensuring consistent therapeutic effects throughout the day while minimizing side effects.

Indications:

TamZen is indicated for:

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):
  • Relieves symptoms such as difficulty in urination, frequent or urgent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.
• Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in men due to BPH.

Benefits:

• Symptom Relief: Improves urine flow and reduces the symptoms of BPH.
• Once-Daily Dosing: The prolonged-release formulation provides consistent symptom management.
• Minimized Side Effects: Reduced risk of orthostatic hypotension compared to immediate-release formulations.
• Improved Quality of Life: Facilitates better bladder control and reduces nocturnal urination.

Mechanism of Action:

Tamsulosin selectively blocks alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck. This relaxation of smooth muscle improves urine flow and alleviates BPH symptoms.

Dosage and Administration:

• Recommended Dose:
  • One tablet of TamZen (0.4 mg) once daily, taken after a meal.
• Swallow the tablet whole without crushing or chewing to maintain its prolonged-release properties.

Precautions:

• Not for Women or Children: Specifically formulated for men with BPH.
• Hypersensitivity: Avoid use in patients allergic to Tamsulosin.
• Orthostatic Hypotension: May cause dizziness or fainting upon standing; rise slowly from sitting or lying positions.
• Severe Renal or Hepatic Impairment: Use with caution.

Side Effects:

• Common:
  • Dizziness, headache, nasal congestion, and fatigue.
• Less Common:
  • Retrograde ejaculation, gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Rare but Serious:
  • Severe allergic reactions, priapism (prolonged painful erection), or signs of orthostatic hypotension.

Storage Instructions:

• Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (below 30°C).
• Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Key Notes:

• TamZen is a trusted solution for managing BPH symptoms effectively.
• Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider if side effects occur or symptoms persist.
• Do not discontinue treatment abruptly without medical advice.

This formulation helps men lead a more comfortable and active life by significantly reducing BPH-related urinary symptoms.
