About TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE

TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an overgrowth of the prostate gland, a gland situated between the bladder and penis. The prostate gland encompasses the urethra and generates a fluid that forms a part of the semen. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is not cancer.

TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE contains two medicines: Tolterodine (antimuscarinic) and Tamsulosin (alpha-blocker). Tolterodine works by relaxing the urinary bladder muscles and preventing urgent, frequent, or uncontrolled urination. Tamsulosin (alpha-blocker) primarily treats the enlarged prostate gland, leading to urinary problems (like difficulty in passing urine and a frequent urination urge). Together TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE works by relaxing the muscle around the bladder exit and prostate gland, so urine is passed more effortlessly. This prevents urgent, repeated, or uncontrolled urination.

Take TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience dryness in the mouth, constipation, blurred vision, ejaculation disorder (ejaculate sperm from the penis), and flushing (sense of warmness in the face, ears, neck, and trunk). Most of these side effects of TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Before starting TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE, please inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, liver/kidney disease, and heart problems history. If you have myasthenia gravis and glaucoma, then inform your doctor before taking TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE. You are also advised to wear a condom while having sexual intercourse, especially when your partner is pregnant, as TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE is known to pass in semen. Do not donate blood while taking TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE. You can donate blood six months after you have taken the last dose of TAMLET 2MG CAPSULE.
