TEMPAS-D

Description

Tempas-D is a prescription-grade combination medication containing two active ingredients: Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Modified Release) and Dutasteride. It is specifically formulated to treat symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men.

How it Works

This medication uses a dual-action approach to manage an enlarged prostate:

• Tamsulosin (Alpha-blocker): Relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier for urine to flow and reducing the “urgency” to urinate.

• Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor): Blocks the production of a hormone (DHT) that causes the prostate to grow. Over time, this actually helps shrink the size of the prostate gland.

How to Use

• Dosage: Typically one tablet daily, taken approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day.

• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush, chew, or break it, as this can interfere with the modified-release (MR) mechanism and irritate your mouth or throat.

• Consistency: It may take 3 to 6 months of continuous use to achieve the full beneficial effect of shrinking the prostate.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Care: Manages both the symptoms (difficulty urinating) and the underlying cause (prostate size).

• Modified Release: The “MR” technology ensures the medicine is released slowly into the body for 24-hour coverage.

• Reduces Surgery Risk: Long-term use can reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for BPH-related surgery.

Possible Side Effects

• Common: Dizziness, lightheadedness (especially when standing up), headache, or decreased sexual drive/ability.

• Specific to Men: Changes in ejaculation (decreased volume) or breast tenderness/enlargement.

• Serious: Persistent painful erection (priapism), severe dizziness or fainting, or signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of the face/throat). Seek medical help immediately for these.

Quality Assurance

• Storage: Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture.

• Packaging: 10 x 10 Tablets (100 tablets total per box).

• Warning: Tablets should not be handled by women (especially those pregnant or planning to become pregnant) or children, as the active ingredient can be absorbed through the skin.

FAQ

• Q: Can I stop taking Tempas-D once my symptoms improve?

  • A: No. If you stop taking it, the prostate may begin to grow again and symptoms will return. Consult your doctor before stopping.

• Q: Does Tempas-D affect blood pressure?

  • A: It can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, especially when you first start taking it. Rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to avoid dizziness.

• Q: Can I donate blood while taking this?

  • A: No. You must wait at least 6 months after your last dose before donating blood to ensure the medicine is completely out of your system.
