Urimax 0.4mg or 400mcg contains Tamsulosin as the main active ingredient. It is generally used to treat adult men with an enlarged prostate, due to which difficulty in urination is caused. This drug belongs to the category of a selective antagonist.
This medication is prescribed for the treatment of signs and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men. The word hyperplasia refers to an enlargement that is not cancerous. It is also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
How does Tamsulosin .4mg work?
Tamsulosin, the active substance of Urimax 0.4 mg, is a selective antagonist at alpha-1A and alpha-1B-adrenoceptors in the prostate, prostatic capsule, prostatic urethra, and bladder neck. At least three discrete alpha1-adrenoceptor subtypes have been identified: alpha-1A, alpha-1B and alpha-1D; their distribution differs between human organs and tissues. Approximately 70% of the alpha1-receptors in the human prostate are of the alpha-1A subtype. Blockage of these receptors causes relaxation of the smooth muscles in the bladder neck and prostate, thereby decreasing urinary outflow resistance in men.
