Toltam Capsule 10

About Toltam Capsule

Toltam Capsule is commonly prescribed for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland, located between the bladder and penis, grows larger than normal. This enlargement can put pressure on the urethra, causing difficulty in urination. BPH is a non-cancerous condition but can significantly affect urinary function and overall quality of life.

This medicine combines two active ingredients: Tolterodine, which belongs to the antimuscarinic class of drugs, and Tamsulosin, an alpha-blocker. Tolterodine helps relax the muscles of the bladder, reducing symptoms such as frequent, urgent, or uncontrolled urination. Tamsulosin works by relaxing the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to pass urine. Together, these ingredients improve urinary flow and reduce discomfort caused by an overactive bladder and an enlarged prostate.

The capsule should be taken exactly as advised by your doctor, preferably with food to minimize stomach upset. Continue using the medication for the prescribed duration to get the best results. Some people may experience side effects like dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, ejaculation issues, or a feeling of warmth in the face and upper body. These side effects are usually temporary, but if they persist or worsen, medical attention may be necessary.

Before starting Toltam Capsule, let your doctor know if you have a history of low blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, heart conditions, glaucoma, or myasthenia gravis. If your partner is pregnant, it is recommended to use a condom during intercourse, as the medicine can pass into semen and may pose risks to the fetus. Blood donation should be avoided while taking this medicine and for six months after the last dose. Because this medication may cause dizziness or drowsiness, be cautious when driving or handling heavy machinery.

Possible Side Effects

Some individuals may notice effects such as a dry mouth, constipation, blurry vision, stuffy nose, pimples, urinary tract infection, headaches, ejaculation problems, or an increased cough. Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve on their own.

Uses

Toltam Capsule is mainly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and its related symptoms, including difficulty passing urine, frequent urination, and incomplete emptying of the bladder.

How to Take

Swallow the capsule whole with water, without crushing or chewing it. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and timing.

Benefits of Toltam Capsule

The combination of Tolterodine and Tamsulosin helps ease urinary issues caused by an enlarged prostate and overactive bladder. Tolterodine relaxes bladder muscles, while Tamsulosin reduces resistance at the bladder outlet, making urination easier and reducing symptoms such as hesitancy and frequent urges.

How It Works

Tolterodine targets the bladder muscles to control involuntary contractions, reducing urgency and frequency. Tamsulosin relaxes the muscles at the bladder exit and prostate, improving urine flow and minimizing difficulty in urination.

Storage Instructions

Store the medicine in a cool, dry place, away from the reach of children and pets.

Overdose Information

Taking more than the prescribed dose may result in serious health complications. If an overdose is suspected, seek immediate medical care.

Precautions and Warnings

Patients with liver or kidney problems, very low blood pressure, a history of prostate cancer, or allergic reactions to similar drugs should use this medicine cautiously. Inform your doctor if you have any eye conditions like narrow-angle glaucoma, gastrointestinal issues such as constipation, or heart rhythm irregularities. Since this medicine may cause dizziness or blurred vision, avoid activities that require focus until you know how the drug affects you. Men using this medicine should use protection during sexual activity to prevent possible effects on a pregnant partner or fetus. In rare cases, problems such as prolonged erections, painful ejaculation, or discomfort in the penis may occur and should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.
