SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Tabphyn MR 400 microgram Capsules 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION One capsule contains 0.4 mg of tamsulosin hydrochloride. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Modified-release capsule, hard Orange/olive-green capsule. The capsules contain white to off-white pellets. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION One capsule a day after breakfast or the first meal of the day. The capsule is swallowed whole with a glass of water while standing or sitting (not lying down).
