How Does Tabphyn MR Work?
Many men will experience the symptoms of an enlarged prostate as they get older. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate.
The prostate is near to the urethra (urine, or pee, tube), and as the prostate enlarges it can put pressure on the urethra. This makes it harder to pass urine effectively. Men may therefore have trouble starting to urinate (pass urine). They may also have a reduced flow of urine, dribbling of urine even after finishing urinating, and the need to pass urine more frequently because the bladder is not completely emptied. Men may find they have to get up several times in the night to pass urine, too.
The tamsulosin in Tabphyn MR works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the prostate and those around the urethra. This takes the pressure off the urethra, allowing urine to be passed more easily and more successfully.
The MR in this medication’s title means ‘modified release’. This means that the tablet continues to work for a sustained period of time, so that it can be taken just once a day with a long lasting effect.
How is Tabphyn MR Taken?
Tabphyn MR is a capsule that only needs to be taken once a day. It is recommended that you take the capsule after breakfast with some water, while standing or sitting (not lying down).
The capsule should be swallowed whole without crushing it or chewing it.
Dosage of Tabphyn MR
Each capsule of Tabphyn MR contains 400 micrograms of tamsulosin. One tablet should be taken every morning.
Because it offers prolonged release, the medication builds up into a steady state within the body to offer symptomatic relief all day and night.
Are there any Side Effects?
Like all medications, Tabphyn MR can have some side effects. The most common side effects include:
- Dizziness or feeling faint due to low blood pressure
- Fainting
- Problems when ejaculating (including no semen being produced).
These side effects are likely to settle down, but if they persist or become troublesome you should speak to your doctor for further advice.
Serious side effects are less common but include:
- Shortness of breath or breathing difficulties – this could be due to a lung problem
- Yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes – this could be due to liver problems
- Unexpected bruising or prolonged bleeding – this could be due to a blood problem
Call a doctor straight away if any of these serious side effects occur.
Serious allergic reactions happen very rarely. If you have a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) including breathlessness, lip swelling or tongue swelling, call 999 immediately.
