Urimax

Uses
Urimax (Tamsulosin) belongs to a group of drugs called alpha blockers. Its mode of action involves blocking alpha receptors in the muscle of the prostate gland. This causes the prostate to relax, which makes it easier for patients suffering from an enlarged prostate to urinate properly, and may also treat other urination problems caused by this condition. In some cases, this medicine has been used by patients to help them get rid of kidney stones.

Dosage and Administration
Before you take Urimax (Tamsulosin) tablets, a medical consultation with your doctor is required so that the seriousness of your condition can be determined, and the proper dosage prescribed. In most cases, adults treating benign prostatic hyperplasia are told to take 0.4mg per day, with the tablet taken a half an hour after eating. The dosage should be taken at the same time each day.
