Frequently asked questions
What is Veltam 0.4 used for?
Veltam 0.4 contains tamsulosin 0.4 mg, an alpha blocker. It relaxes the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck so urine flows more easily in men with an enlarged prostate, and it helps small kidney stones pass.
Should I take Veltam 0.4 in the morning or at night?
NHS advises taking it after breakfast or the first meal of the day, at the same time daily. Some Indian doctors prescribe it at bedtime to reduce daytime dizziness; follow your own doctor's instruction and get up slowly.
Veltam vs Veltam Plus vs Veltam F – what is the difference?
Veltam has only tamsulosin. Veltam Plus adds dutasteride and Veltam F adds finasteride, which shrink the prostate over months. Your urologist chooses based on prostate size and symptoms.
How long does tamsulosin take to work?
Urine flow often improves within a few days to 2 weeks. It does not shrink the prostate; it only relaxes the muscle, so symptoms return if you stop.
