Roliflo Od 2 Capsule contains two active ingredients that work together:

Tamsulosin (0.4 mg): This is an alpha-blocker. Alpha-blockers are medicines that help to relax certain muscles in your body. In this case, Tamsulosin works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. This action helps to improve urine flow and reduce symptoms of BPH.
Tolterodine (2 mg): Tolterodine is an antimuscarinic agent. Antimuscarinics are medicines that act on certain receptors in your body to produce their effects. Specifically, Tolterodine works by relaxing the bladder muscles. This action reduces the frequency and urgency of urination.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Roliflo Od 2 Capsule if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is also recommended if you are breastfeeding. It's important to discuss this with your doctor before starting on Roliflo Od 2 Capsule.

Children

Roliflo Od 2 Capsule is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age. Always consult a doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Drug-Drug Interactions

Roliflo Od 2 Capsule interacts with the following medicines:

Alpha-blockers: Medicines like doxazosin and prazosin can have their effects increased when taken with Roliflo Od 2 Capsule, possibly leading to low blood pressure or hypotension.
Anticholinergics: If you take anticholinergic medication such as atropine or scopolamine, it may amplify the bladder-relaxing effects of the tolterodine in Roliflo Od 2 Capsule.
CYP3A4 inhibitors: Medications like ketoconazole and clarithromycin can slow down the breakdown of tolterodine in your body, leading to increased side effects.
CYP2D6 inhibitors: Taking Roliflo Od 2 Capsule with fluoxetine or paroxetine could increase the concentration of tolterodine in your body, potentially enhancing its side effects.

Drug-Food Interactions

Drug-Disease Interactions

Roliflo Od 2 Capsule interacts with the following diseases:

Severe liver or kidney disease: If you have severe liver or kidney disease, your body may not metabolise Roliflo Od 2 Capsule effectively, which could lead to increased side effects.
Hypotension: As this medicine can lower blood pressure, it can intensify symptoms in people already suffering from low blood pressure.
Urinary retention: Individuals with urinary retention may experience worsened symptoms as this medication relaxes the bladder muscles.
Gastrointestinal disorders: Conditions such as obstructive bowel disease or intestinal atony could be exacerbated by the use of Roliflo Od 2 Capsule.
Myasthenia gravis: The muscle-relaxing effect of Roliflo Od 2 Capsule could worsen the symptoms of myasthenia gravis, a muscle weakness disorder.
Narrow-angle glaucoma: Tolterodine in Roliflo Od 2 Capsule may increase eye pressure, worsening symptoms in people with narrow-angle glaucoma.

Daily Dose

Remember to take Roliflo Od 2 Capsule as per your doctor's instructions. Your dosage depends on your personal health condition and how you respond to the medicine. Always stick to the prescribed dosage and consult your doctor before any changes.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Roliflo Od 2 Capsules than recommended, you might experience common side effects like dizziness or fatigue more intensely. Do not disregard these symptoms; instead, let your doctor know about them.

Missed Dose

Suppose you forget to take your Roliflo Od 2 Capsule at the scheduled time. In that case, you can take it as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose - then, skip the missed capsule and continue with your regular schedule. Never alter your dosage without discussing it with your doctor.
