Indications
Tamsulosin Hydrochloride is indicated for the treatment of functional symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Dosage & Administration
Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0.4 mg (one capsule) daily, to be taken after meal at night. The dose may be increased after 2 to 4 weeks, if necessary, to Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0.8 mg (two capsules) once daily. If Tamsulosin Hydrochloride administration is discontinued or interrupted for several days at either the 0.4 mg or 0.8 mg dose, therapy should be started again with the Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0.4 mg (one capsule) once daily dose. The capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water (about 150 ml) in the standing or sitting position. The capsule should not be crunched or chewed, as this will interfere with the modified release of the active ingredient.
Side Effects
The following adverse reactions have been reported during the use of Tamsulosin: dizziness, abnormal ejaculation and; less frequently headache, asthenia, postural hypotension and palpitations.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Use of Tamsulosin in pregnancy and lactation is not recommended.
Precautions & Warnings
Rarely, transient postural symptoms have occurred during orthostatic provocation testing after the first dose. Use in patients with micturition syncope is not advised.
Effects on ability to drive and use machines: No data is available on whether Tamsulosin adversely affects the ability to drive or operate machines. However, in this respect, patients should be aware of the fact that dizziness can occur.
Overdose Effects
No case of acute overdosage has been reported. However, acute hypotension is likely to occur after overdosage in which case cardiovascular support should be given. Blood pressure can be restored and the heart rate brought back to normal by lying the patient down. If this does not help then volume expanders, and when necessary, vasopressors could be employed. Renal function should be monitored and general supportive measures applied. Dialysis is unlikely to be of help as Tamsulosin is very highly bound to plasma proteins. Measures, such as emesis, can be taken to impede absorption. When large quantities are involved, gastric lavage can be applied and activated charcoal and an osmotic laxative, such as sodium sulphate, can be administered.
