INTRODUCTION ABOUT TAMWIN 0.4 MG TABLET
TAMWIN 0.4 MG TABLET contains Tamsulosin which belongs to the group of medicines called Alpha blockers. It is used in men to manage the signs and symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
BPH (also known enlarged prostate) is an abnormal growth or enlargement of prostate gland in aging men. It is caused primarily due to increased production of a stress hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Symptoms includes difficulty in passing urine, urinary incontinence (unintentional passing of urine), frequent urination at night, sexual dysfunction or painful ejaculation.
During management with TAMWIN 0.4 MG TABLET, your doctor will constantly monitor your blood pressure and PSA levels (prostate specific antigen) to avoid the risk of unwanted side effects.
