Composition

Tamsulosin (0.4 Mg)

Geri Start Tablet is primarily used to manage the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. This medicine is part of a group of medicines known as alpha-adrenergic antagonists.

In addition to its primary use, this tablet effectively addresses several BPH symptoms. These may include difficulty initiating urination, a weak urine stream, frequent urination especially at night, feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and an urgent need to urinate. By managing these symptoms, it aids in improving urinary flow and the quality of life for patients dealing with BPH.

It's crucial to take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. It's important to continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Alpha-1 Receptor Blocking: Tamsulosin selectively blocks the alpha-1 receptors in the prostate gland and the bladder neck. This blocking action relaxes the smooth muscles in these areas.
Improved Urine Flow: The relaxation of the smooth muscles leads to improved urine flow and reduced symptoms of BPH. As a selective alpha-1 blocker, Tamsulosin primarily targets the urinary tract, which minimises potential side effects in other parts of the body.
