Veltam 0.4 Tablet MR

Product Introduction
Veltam 0.4 Tablet MR is a medicine that belongs to the group of alpha-adrenergic blockers. It is mainly prescribed to manage the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, a condition medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This medicine helps improve urine flow and relieves discomfort caused by difficulty in passing urine. However, it does not shrink the size of the prostate gland.

The dosage and duration of treatment with Veltam 0.4 Tablet MR should be followed exactly as directed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day for better results. Swallow the tablet whole without breaking, crushing, or chewing it. Do not discontinue the medication suddenly without medical advice, as doing so may worsen your symptoms. Completing the full course of treatment is essential to get the best outcome.

Some common side effects of this medicine include dizziness, back pain, chest discomfort, nausea, and problems related to ejaculation, such as retrograde ejaculation. If these effects persist or cause significant discomfort, consult your healthcare provider.

Making certain lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms better. Try to urinate when you feel the urge and avoid pushing or straining. Limiting caffeine and alcohol, especially in the evening, can also help reduce nighttime trips to the toilet.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about any ongoing medications or health issues you may have. If you are planning to undergo cataract or glaucoma surgery, make sure to tell your eye surgeon about this medication. Patients with liver problems should be especially cautious and may require regular checkups while on this treatment.

Uses of Veltam 0.4 Tablet MR

Benefits of Veltam 0.4 Tablet MR
When the prostate becomes enlarged, it can block urine flow, leading to symptoms such as frequent or urgent urination and difficulty starting or stopping urination. If left untreated, it can completely obstruct urine flow. This medicine works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate, making it easier to pass urine and empty the bladder fully. Though some improvement may be noticed quickly, it may take up to six months to experience the full benefits.
