About Floapt Tablet SR
Floapt Tablet SR belongs to the category of medicine known as alpha-blocker, used primarily for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH (enlarged prostate), and urinary bladder outlet obstruction. Floapt Tablet SR is for use by men only and not indicated for use by women. Floapt Tablet SR does not cure prostate cancer. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused by the overproduction of a hormone called ‘dihydrotestosterone’ in men. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and frequent urination. Floapt Tablet SR helps in getting relief from these symptoms.
Floapt Tablet SR contains Tamsulosin (alpha-blocker), which primarily treats the enlarged prostate gland, leading to urinary problems (like difficulty in passing urine and a frequent urination urge). Floapt Tablet SR relaxes the prostate gland’s muscles and urinary bladder neck at the obstruction site, resulting in improved urine flow and reduced BPH symptoms.
Floapt Tablet SR should be taken approximately 30 minutes following the same meal every day. The most common side effects of Floapt Tablet SR are low blood pressure (hypotension), dizziness, drowsiness, reduced sex drive (libido), inability to get an erection (impotence), tenderness or enlargement of your breasts (in men), sleeplessness, runny nose, or ejaculatory problems. These side effects may disappear when you continue to take Floapt Tablet SR. Although, if these side effects persist, contact the doctor.
Women or children should not take Floapt Tablet SR. Please inform your doctor before starting $ if you have low blood pressure, liver/kidney disease, or a history of heart problems. You are also advised to wear a condom while having sexual intercourse, especially when your partner is pregnant, as Floapt Tablet SR is known to pass in semen. Do not donate blood while taking Floapt Tablet SR. You can donate blood six months after you have taken the last dose of Floapt Tablet SR. Patients taking Floapt Tablet SR should be cautioned about driving, operating machinery or performing hazardous tasks as it can cause drowsiness or dizziness. In rare cases, problems of penis erection, ejaculation and pain in the penis. So if these symptoms are for a longer time, immediately contact your doctor.
