Tamsulosin

Active pharmaceutical substance formulated in Jan Aushadhi generic products for Kidney & Urinary Care treatment.

🧴 Clinical Application

Take orally once daily, approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day (preferably dinner or breakfast) with a full glass of water. Swallow the tablet/capsule whole; do NOT chew, crush, or open capsules, as direct contact with dutasteride can irritate oropharyngeal mucosa. Long-term therapy (at least 6-12 months) is necessary for maximal prostate shrinkage.

⚠️ Side Effects

Common: Retrograde ejaculation (ejaculatory dysfunction), erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, dizziness, rhinitis, orthostatic hypotension. Rare/Severe: Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS) during cataract surgery, gynecomastia, breast tenderness, and severe hypersensitivity/angioedema.

🛡️ Safety Warnings

Contraindicated in women and children. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must NOT handle broken or leaking dutasteride capsules due to risk of fetal male external genitalia malformation. Inform ophthalmologist before cataract surgery due to IFIS risk. Dutasteride lowers serum PSA by 50% after 6 months; double measured PSA levels when evaluating for prostate cancer.

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Modified Release) 0.4mg + Dutasteride 0.5mg Tablets

Tablets
15's

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (0.4mg modified-release) and Dutasteride (0.5mg) Tablets/Capsules is a synergistic dual-action therapy on the WHO Model List framework for symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Tamsulosin is a uroselective alpha-1A/1D adrenergic receptor antagonist that relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate stroma, prostatic capsule, and bladder neck, rapidly improving urinary peak flow rates and relieving lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Dutasteride is a potent dual type 1 and type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) that suppresses dihydrotestosterone (DHT) synthesis by >90%, progressively shrinking enlarged prostate volume over 3-6 months. Indicated for moderate-to-severe BPH with enlarged prostate (volume >30cc) to reduce the risk of acute urinary retention (AUR) and the need for BPH-related surgery (TURP).

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Prolonged Release Capsules (0.4mg) is a uroselective alpha-1A and alpha-1D adrenergic receptor antagonist on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. By selectively blocking alpha-1A receptors concentrated in the human prostate, bladder neck, and prostatic urethra (which account for 70% of prostatic alpha receptors), it relaxes smooth muscle tone, reduces outflow resistance, and enhances maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) with minimal effect on systemic vascular resistance. Indicated for symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and as off-label medical expulsive therapy for distal ureteric stones.

Tablets
10's

Deflazacort (30mg) and Tamsulosin (0.4mg) Tablets is a specialized medical expulsive therapy (MET) combination. Tamsulosin blocks alpha-1D receptors located predominantly in the lower third of the ureter and ureterovesical junction (UVJ), inhibiting ureteral smooth muscle spasm and dilating the ureteral lumen. Deflazacort is an oxazoline glucocorticoid that exerts potent anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous action around the impacted stone site, reducing localized mucosal swelling and pain. Indicated for medical expulsive therapy of distal ureteral calculi (stones measuring 5 to 10 mm) to accelerate spontaneous stone passage and reduce surgical intervention.
