FAQ's on Tamlocept 0.4 Capsule PR
Why does Tamlocept cause dizziness?
Tamlocept 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.
What are the long-term effects of taking Tamlocept?
Usually Tamlocept does not cause any side effects in patients with benign enlargement of the prostate gland. However, long-term use of Tamlocept may increase the chances of having infection, rhinitis, pain, and pharyngitis. Its long-term use may also cause abnormal ejaculation, blackouts, faintness, lightheadedness, dizziness, and decreased blood pressure.
Can Tamlocept cause frequent urination?
No, Tamlocept does not cause frequent urination. In fact, this medicine increases the urine flow and decreases the urge to urinate frequently, which is a symptom of benign enlargement of the prostate gland. This condition also leads to a weak stream while urinating and hence the patient is not able to empty the bladder completely. Tamlocept is used to treat all such symptoms related to urine flow in patients with benign enlargement of the prostate gland.
Can the use of Tamlocept increase blood sugar levels?
