Pharmacist's Advice
Use Prostam 0.4mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the capsule whole; do not crush or chew it.
• Take it as directed, usually consistently at the same time each day.
• Tamsulosin can cause dizziness or a drop in blood pressure, particularly when standing up. Rise slowly from sitting or lying down.
• Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or light-headed.
• Inform your doctor if you take medicines for high blood pressure or erectile dysfunction, as combinations may increase the risk of low blood pressure.
• Tell your ophthalmologist that you are taking or have previously taken tamsulosin before cataract or glaucoma surgery, because it can be relevant to the surgical management.
• Prostam is intended for the management of BPH symptoms; it does not shrink the prostate or cure prostate cancer.
• Do not change the dose or stop treatment without consulting your doctor.
