Tamiso MR Capsule 0.4mg

About Tamiso MR Capsule 0.4mg

Tamiso MR Uses

• Relieves urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Improves urine flow in men with an enlarged prostate
• Reduces frequent urination, weak stream and incomplete bladder emptying
• Sometimes used to help pass small kidney stones faster

Tamiso MR Benefits

• Modified release formula gives steady symptom control through the day
• Works within days to ease straining and urgency
• Does not require prostate size reduction to relieve symptoms

Urologists in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi commonly prescribe Tamiso MR for older men struggling with slow or interrupted urination.

Tamsulosin relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck. This widens the passage for urine and eases the strain of an enlarged prostate.

Tamiso MR works best when taken about thirty minutes after the same meal each day for consistent absorption. Standing up slowly helps avoid dizziness from a sudden drop in blood pressure. Anyone planning cataract surgery should tell their eye surgeon about this capsule beforehand.
