Omnic Ocas 0.4 gm 30 Tablets

Description:

Omnic Ocas 0.4 gm 30 tablets is a prescription oral medicine containing tamsulosin, a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is formulated as prolonged-release film-coated tablets using an oral-controlled absorption system (OCAS®) that provides a steady, controlled release of tamsulosin over 24 hours, helping to improve urine flow and relieve lower urinary tract symptoms associated with enlarged prostate in adult men. This product is intended for health and wellness support in urology and prostate care under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men.
• Improvement of urinary flow in patients with enlarged prostate.
• Relief of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with BPH such as weak urine stream, hesitancy, straining during urination, intermittent flow, incomplete bladder emptying, and post-void dribbling.
• Reduction of urinary frequency and urgency, including nocturia (frequent urination at night) related to BPH.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Tamsulosin hydrochloride – 0.4 mg per prolonged-release film-coated tablet (selective alpha-1A/1D adrenergic receptor antagonist).
• OCAS® (oral-controlled absorption system) matrix – a gel-forming and gel-enhancing delivery system designed to provide constant, controlled release of tamsulosin independent of food or fluid intake. (Exact excipient composition and concentrations are not available.)
• Other inactive ingredients/excipients: film-coating and tablet core excipients (specific components and their concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Recommended dose for adults (men): 1 tablet (0.4 mg tamsulosin) once daily.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this will interfere with the prolonged-release OCAS® system.
• Can generally be taken with or without food; however, take it at the same time each day as directed by your doctor to maintain consistent blood levels.
• Use exactly as prescribed by your physician; do not exceed the recommended dose.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
• Duration of use: long-term treatment may be required for chronic BPH symptoms; your doctor will determine the duration based on your response and clinical condition.
• Not indicated for use in women or children.

Clinical Benefits:

• Relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck by selectively blocking alpha-1A adrenergic receptors, reducing resistance to urinary flow.
• Improves urinary flow rate and decreases obstruction, helping patients pass urine more easily.
• Reduces lower urinary tract symptoms of BPH such as hesitancy, weak stream, and incomplete emptying, improving daily comfort and quality of life.
• Decreases urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia, supporting better sleep and overall wellbeing.
• OCAS® prolonged-release technology provides stable plasma levels of tamsulosin over 24 hours, helping to maintain consistent symptom control and potentially reduce peak-related side effects.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to tamsulosin hydrochloride or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of orthostatic hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure when standing) related to alpha-blocker use.
• Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment; dosage adjustment or alternative therapy may be required as per physician assessment.
• May cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when rising from sitting or lying position; stand up slowly and avoid sudden posture changes.
• Inform your ophthalmologist before cataract or glaucoma surgery; tamsulosin has been associated with Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS).
• Use with caution in combination with other alpha-blockers or antihypertensive medications due to risk of additive blood pressure lowering.
• Not recommended for use in women or children.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have severe kidney disease, liver disease, a history of fainting, or if you are taking medications for blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, or other urologic conditions.
• Do not stop or change the dose without consulting your physician, even if symptoms improve.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are taking other medications that may interact with tamsulosin (e.g., strong CYP3A4 inhibitors like ketoconazole, or CYP2D6 inhibitors); dose adjustment or monitoring may be required.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions is generally advised; however, this product is intended for adult men with BPH.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, drowsiness, weakness, and orthostatic hypotension (feeling lightheaded when standing up).
• Other possible side effects: palpitations, rapid heartbeat, nasal congestion, gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, diarrhea, constipation), or dry mouth.
• Sexual side effects may include abnormal ejaculation (such as decreased semen volume or retrograde ejaculation).
• Less common but serious side effects: severe dizziness or fainting, severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of face/tongue/throat, difficulty breathing), or prolonged painful erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• If you experience persistent or bothersome side effects, or any unexpected symptoms, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
