About Urimax 0.4 Capsule

Urimax 0.4 Capsule belongs to the category of medicine called 'alpha-blocker' primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH (enlarged prostate), and urinary bladder outlet obstruction. It relaxes the prostate gland’s muscles and urinary bladder neck at the obstruction site, resulting in improved urine flow with reduced BPH symptoms. Urimax 0.4 Capsule is for use by men only and not indicated for use by women. Urimax 0.4 Capsule does not cure prostate cancer. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused due to overproduction of a hormone called ‘dihydrotestosterone’ in men. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and frequent urination. Urimax 0.4 Capsule helps in getting relief from these symptoms.

Urimax 0.4 Capsule contains Tamsulosin hydrochloride (alpha-blocker) which primarily treats the enlarged prostate gland leading to urinary problems (like difficulty in passing urine and a frequent urination urge). It is a prodrug, and it gets broken down into its active form (i.e. Tamsulosin) in the gut (intestine). Urimax 0.4 Capsule makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the prostate gland.
