URIMAX F CAPSULE

Uses and Benefits of URIMAX F CAPSULE (TAMSULOSIN 0.4MG + FINASTERIDE 5MG)

This medicine is prescribed for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), a condition that causes difficulty in urination.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Relieving symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as weak urine stream, frequent urination, and difficulty starting urination

HOW IT WORKS

• Tamsulosin relaxes the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to pass urine

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• It is not used to treat prostate cancer
• It is not a treatment for urinary tract infections
• It is not meant for women or children
