TAMLET 4MG CAPSULE

TAMLET 4MG CAPSULE belongs to a group of medications known as ‘antimuscarinic (muscarinic receptor blockers)’ and ‘alpha-blockers’. TAMLET 4MG CAPSULE is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an overgrowth of the prostate gland, a gland situated between the bladder and penis. The prostate gland encompasses the urethra and generates a fluid that forms a part of the semen. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is not cancer.

TAMLET 4MG CAPSULE contains two medicines: Tolterodine (antimuscarinic), and Tamsulosin (alpha-blocker). Tolterodine works by relaxing the urinary bladder muscles and preventing urgent, frequent, or uncontrolled urination. Tamsulosin (alpha-blocker) primarily treats the enlarged prostate gland leading to urinary problems (like difficulty in passing urine and a frequent urination urge). Together TAMLET 4MG CAPSULE works by relaxing the muscle around the bladder exit and prostate gland, so urine is passed more effortlessly. This prevents urgent, repeated, or uncontrolled urination.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): It is the enlargement of the prostate gland. It is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused due to overproduction of dihydrotestosterone hormone in men. After age 50, most men develop an enlarged prostate gland putting pressure on the urinary bladder. It leads to restricted or obstructed urine flow, the urge to urinate frequently (especially at night), and the feeling of not emptying the urinary bladder.
