Mictrol Capsule 0.4 mg contains Tamsulosin Hydrochloride, an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker primarily used to manage the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary difficulties such as a weak stream, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.

Tamsulosin works by selectively relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. This relaxation helps improve urine flow and reduces symptoms associated with urinary obstruction, allowing for more comfortable and efficient urination.

Indications

Mictrol Capsule 0.4 mg is indicated for:

• Treatment of signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men.

Mechanism of Action

Tamsulosin selectively blocks alpha-1A adrenergic receptors located in the prostate and bladder neck. This leads to smooth muscle relaxation, decreased urethral resistance, and improved urinary flow without significantly affecting systemic blood pressure.
