BENIPROSIN Capsule Ref.[115227] Active ingredients: Tamsulosin

Method of administration

One 0,4 mg of BENIPROSIN SR capsule to be taken daily after breakfast or after first daily meal.

BENIPROSIN SR capsules should be swallowed whole with water (about 150 ml) in the standing or sitting position.

BENIPROSIN SR capsules should not be crushed or chewed, as this will interfere with the sustained release property of this active ingredient.

No cases of acute overdosage have been reported. However, acute hypotension could theoretically occur after overdosage in which case cardiovascular support should be given. Blood pressure can be restored and heart rate brought back to normal by lying the patient down. If this does not help then volume expanders and when necessary vasopressors could be employed. Renal function should be monitored and general supportive measures applied.

Dialysis is unlikely to be of help as tamsulosin is very highly bound to proteins. Measures such as emesis, can be taken to impede absorption.

When large quantities are involved; gastric lavage can be applied and activated charcoal and an osmotic laxative, such as sodium sulphate, can be administered.

24 Months.
