1What is Tamsulosina Medreg and what it is used for
Tamsulosin is an alpha-adrenergic receptor blocker. It relaxes the muscles of the prostate and urinary tract.
Tamsulosin is prescribed to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). By relaxing the muscles, it allows urine to pass more easily and thus facilitates urination.

2What you need to know before you take Tamsulosina Medreg
Do not take Tamsulosina Medreg:

• if you are allergic to tamsulosin or any of the other ingredientsof this medicine (listed in section 6) (symptoms may include: swelling of the face and throat(angioedema).
• if you suffer from dizziness, lightheadedness orfainting when changing to an upright position due to a decrease in blood pressure.
• if you have severe liver problems.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Tamsulosina Medreg

• if you experience dizziness or lightheadedness, especially after standing up. Tamsulosin can lower blood pressure, causing these symptoms. In such cases, you should sit or lie down until the symptoms disappear.
• if you suffer from severe kidney problems. The normal dose of tamsulosin may not have the expected effect when the kidneys are not functioning properly.
• if you are going to have eye surgeryfor cataracts (clouding of the lens) or glaucoma (increased eye pressure). A condition affecting the eyes called iris flag syndrome may occur during surgery (see section 4, Possible side effects). Inform your

eye doctor if you are taking or have previously taken tamsulosin hydrochloride. The specialist may
take appropriate precautions regarding the drug and the surgical techniques to be used. Ask your
doctor if you need to delay or temporarily stop taking this medicine before
undergoing surgery for cataracts (clouding of the lens) or increased
eye pressure (glaucoma).
Before starting therapy with tamsulosin, your doctor should examine you to verify that your symptoms are
really caused by an enlarged prostate.

Children and adolescents
Do not give this medicine to children or adolescents under 18 years of age as it is not effective in this
population.

Other medicines and Tamsulosina Medreg
Tamsulosin can affect the action of other medicines in the body and these, in turn, can
affect the action of tamsulosin. Therefore, it is important to tell your doctor if you are taking:

• medicines for lowering blood pressure (e.g. verapamil and diltiazem);
• medicines for the treatment of HIV (e.g. ritonavir or saquinavir);
• medicines for the treatment of fungal infections (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole or fluconazole);
• medicines for blood clotting (e.g. warfarin);
• anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. diclofenac);
• medicines for the treatment of infections (e.g. erythromycin, clarithromycin);
• immunosuppressants (e.g. cyclosporine).

Tell your doctor or pharmacistif you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other
medicines, including those available without a prescription.

experience dizziness, weakness, and fainting, vomiting and diarrhea. Lie down to minimize the effects of
low blood pressure and consult your doctor. The doctor may give you medicines to
restore normal blood pressure values and fluid levels, and monitor your body functions. If necessary, the doctor may empty your stomach and give you a laxative to eliminate
all the tamsulosin that has not yet entered the bloodstream.

If you forget to take Tamsulosina Medreg

If you stop taking Tamsulosina Medreg
