Q. When does Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule start to work?
An improvement in urine flow can be seen in 4 to 8 hours after taking Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule. However, it may take 2 to 4 weeks for the full effect to come.
Q. Can I take Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule with vitamin D?
Yes, Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule can be taken with vitamin D. No harmful effects or interactions have been reported when these are used together.
Q. Why does Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule cause dizziness?
Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule 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 with the sudden change in posture. As a result, the patient may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, spinning sensation, and vertigo.
Q. Why should I stop taking Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule before my cataract surgery?
Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule can cause floppy eye syndrome, in which the muscles of the iris become floppy, and the pupil constricts unexpectedly during cataract surgery. So, when the eye surgeon actually needs a dilated pupil, it will constrict and restrict the field of surgery, which can affect the surgical outcomes.
Q. Can Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule cause frequent urination?
No, Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule 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. Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule is used to treat all such symptoms related to urine flow in patients with benign enlargement of the prostate gland.
Q. What are the long-term effects of taking Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule?
Usually, Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule does not cause any side effects in patients with benign enlargement of the prostate gland. However, long-term use of Urinfen 0.4mg Capsule 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.
Q. Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?
Simple lifestyle changes can help you manage your symptoms better. Try to urinate when you first get the urge. However, take care not to strain or push to empty your bladder. Avoid drinking fluids (especially alcohol and caffeine) a few hours before bedtime or going out. Also, you should not take any other medicine without consulting your doctor because some medicines can increase your urge to urinate.
