Flowel is a potent, selective alpha-1A adrenoceptor antagonist specifically engineered to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH). It contains Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (0.4mg) in a modified-release (sustained-release) formulation. It works by precisely targeting and relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate gland and the bladder neck. By reducing the muscle tension that constricts the urethra, Flowel effectively improves urine flow and relieves the discomfort associated with a blocked urinary passage, providing a foundational clinical solution for male urinary health.
Product Type: Alpha-1 Blocker (Urological)
Active Ingredient: Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (0.4mg)
Manufacturer: Antila Lifesciences / Superior Pharmaceuticals (Nigeria)
Pack Size: 30 Capsules (3 x 10's Blister Pack)
Route: Oral
Availability: Strictly Prescription Required (POM) — Requires clinical assessment
Suitable For: Adult males with symptomatic BPH
Flowel is a primary clinical choice for restoring comfort and efficiency to the urinary system:
BPH Symptom Relief: Reducing urinary frequency (especially at night), urgency, weak stream, and the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
Kidney Stone Passage: Sometimes used "off-label" to help relax the ureter and facilitate the passage of small kidney stones.
Chronic Prostatitis: Assisting in the management of pelvic pain and urinary dysfunction in certain types of long-term prostate inflammation.
First-Dose Dizziness: Flowel can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure (Orthostatic Hypotension), especially when you first start taking it or when you stand up quickly. Take it slow when rising from a bed or chair. Cataract Surgery (IFIS): If you are scheduled for cataract or glaucoma surgery, you must tell your eye surgeon that you are taking Flowel. It can cause "Floppy Iris Syndrome" during surgery, which requires the surgeon to use special techniques. Sulfa Allergy: Use with caution if you have a severe allergy to sulfonamides (sulfa drugs). Priapism: In very rare cases, Tamsulosin can cause a painful, persistent erection (lasting more than 4 hours). If this occurs, seek emergency medical care immediately to prevent permanent damage. Not for Women: Flowel is not indicated for use in women or children.
For maximum efficacy and to maintain a steady modified release of the medication, Flowel must be taken correctly with food.
Standard Dosage:
Adults: Typically one (1) 0.4mg capsule daily.
Application Tips:
The 30-Minute Rule: Take your capsule approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day (usually breakfast or the first meal of the day).
Swallow Whole: Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule. The pellets inside are designed for sustained release; damaging them can cause the drug to be released too quickly, increasing the risk of side effects.
Consistency: Take it at the same time every day to ensure a constant level of medication in your system.
Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect of Flowel, making you feel significantly more dizzy or faint.
Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and a runny or stuffy nose. A unique side effect is Retrograde Ejaculation (where semen enters the bladder instead of leaving the body during orgasm); this is harmless but should be discussed with your doctor if it concerns you. If you experience fainting, severe skin rashes, or swelling of the face, contact Sanlive Pharmacy or your doctor immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the capsules in their original Alu-Alu blister packaging until use. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Is it the same as "Flomax"?
A: Yes. Flomax is the original global brand name for Tamsulosin 0.4mg. Flowel contains the same active ingredient and performs the same clinical function.
Q: Does it "Shrink" the prostate?
A: No. Flowel only relaxes the muscles to let urine through. If your doctor wants to shrink the prostate, they may prescribe it alongside a medication like Dutasteride (sometimes found together in Flowel Plus).
Q: Can I take it with "Viagra"?
A: Both medications can lower blood pressure. You should only combine them under strict medical advice, as the combination can lead to dangerously low blood pressure.
Q: How "Fast" does it work?
A: Most men notice an improvement in their urine flow within 48 hours, but it may take up to 2 to 4 weeks to achieve the full clinical benefit.
