Veltam is an alpha-blocker used to treat the signs and symptoms of male benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a condition that can make it difficult to urinate because your prostate gland gets bigger. In order to facilitate urination and enhance urine flow, Veltam works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate gland and bladder neck.
Veltam comes in tablet form, and is consumed orally. Because it is a prescription drug, a doctor should always be consulted before using it.
Veltam (tamsulosin) helps to relieve pressure on your urethra, making it easier to urinate and improving the flow of urine. It relaxes the smooth muscles in your prostate gland and bladder neck. Veltam is a type of alpha-blocker medication that works specifically on the alpha-1 receptors in the prostate gland and bladder neck.
By blocking these receptors, Veltam prevents the muscles from contracting, which allows the urine to flow more freely. This can help to reduce the symptoms of BPH, such as a weak or slow stream of urine, difficulty starting urination, or frequent urination, particularly at night.
The preferred dose of Veltam (tamsulosin) for BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) can vary depending on the severity of your symptoms and individual factors like age, height and weight. In general, the starting dose of Tamsulosin is usually 0.4 mg once daily, taken approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day.

It's important to take Veltam exactly as your doctor prescribes. Try to take your pills every day at the same time. When taking your tablet, drink a glass of water with it. In addition to Veltam, your doctor may advise you to take other medications for your BPH. Make sure to let your doctor know if you are taking any other medications.
Overall, the onset of action of Veltam for the treatment of BPH can vary from person to person, but it has been proven to provide rapid relief of symptoms in most patients.
A study found that tamsulosin (which is the active ingredient in Veltam) significantly improved urinary symptoms compared to placebo within the first week of the treatment.
Try to set an alarm to ensure that you are taking your dose at the same time each day. In case you miss taking your regular dose, take the tablet as soon as you recall. If it is almost time for your next dose, continue taking your usual dose and skip the one you missed. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
