Urimax D Tablet MR

Urimax D Tablet MR is a combination medicine that treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate. It contains tamsulosin, an alpha-blocker and dutasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. The former relaxes the muscles in the bladder and prostate, while the latter blocks the production of a substance that causes the prostate gland to enlarge. This combination can alleviate symptoms like frequent or difficult urination, weak urine stream, dribbling and incomplete bladder emptying.

Urimax D Tablet MR can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time every day. The appropriate dosage will be prescribed to you by your doctor. To achieve maximum benefit, following the prescription and not missing doses is essential, even if you feel better. It may take about four weeks for you to notice improvements in your symptoms, so it is vital to take the medication consistently.

Side effects of Urimax D Tablet MR include decreased libido (sex drive), ejaculatory dysfunction, slight breast enlargement or tenderness, decreased semen volume, stuffy nose and difficulty sleeping. They typically last for a short period and usually go away on their own. Contact your healthcare provider if the problems persist or worsen.

Urimax D Tablet MR may be contraindicated (unsafe) for people with a history of kidney or liver diseases, prostatic carcinoma, glaucoma, cataract, hypotension and hypersensitivity (allergy) to either tamsulosin or dutasteride. Always inform your doctor of medical conditions you might have. This combination drug is generally considered safe for most people.

Urimax D Tablet MR is a combination of two medicines that are used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate. It is a condition in men that causes non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland and the tissue that surrounds it. The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland located just below the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder. The pathological enlargement of this gland is also called benign prostatic obstruction or benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Urimax D Tablet MR can alleviate symptoms of BPH like frequent urination, difficulty in starting to urinate, sudden urge to urinate, weak urine stream, urinating multiple times at night, dribbling at the end of urination and incomplete emptying of the bladder.

Urimax D Tablet MR contains tamsulosin (alpha-blocker) and dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor). The former relaxes the muscles in the bladder and prostate, ensuring an easy flow of urine, while the latter blocks the production of a natural substance called dihydrotestosterone hormone that causes the prostate to enlarge.

Urimax D Tablet MR works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate, so the difficulty in urination is alleviated. It also prevents the prostate gland from abnormally growing or swelling. This reduces most of the symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Urimax D Tablet MR contains two medicines. The first is tamsulosin, an alpha-1A and alpha-1B adrenergic receptor antagonist that relaxes the muscles in the urinary bladder’s neck and prostate ensuring an easy flow of urine. The second is dutasteride, an oral synthetic 4-azasteroid and a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that causes the prostate to enlarge.
