Prostado 0.4mg Tablet ER is prescribed to help men with symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, medically termed as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Over time, the prostate might continue to enlarge, making symptoms worse. Surgery might be necessary in the future despite using tamsulosin to manage current symptoms.
Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urinary flow and reduce BPH Syndrome.

Is Prostado anticholinergic?

Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
Simple lifestyle changes can help you manage your symptoms better. Try to urinate when you first get the urge. However, take care not to strain or push to empty your bladder. Avoid drinking fluids (especially alcohol, caffeine) a few hours before bedtime or going out. Also, you should not take any other medicine without consulting your doctor because some medicines can increase your urge to urinate.

Why does Prostado cause dizziness?
Prostado dilates the blood vessels and leads to the accumulation of blood in the extremities (ends of the arms and limbs). This restrains the proper flow of blood to the brain, thereby causing the blood pressure to fall on the sudden change in posture. As a result, the patient may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, spinning sensation, and vertigo.
