The word microgram is sometimes written with the Greek symbol μ followed by the letter g (μg).
Why is tamsulosin taken at night
A microgram is 1,000 times smaller than a milligram (mg).
How to take it
Take your tamsulosin capsules or tablets with a drink of water while either sitting or standing. Swallow them whole. Do not break, chew or crush them.
If you can, take tamsulosin in the morning, after breakfast or the first meal or snack of the day.
This is because the highest levels of medicine are in your body 6 hours after you take it. This will give you the most benefit during the daytime when you're most likely trying to pee.
It's best to take it at about the same time each day.
How long to take it for
How long you take it for depends on why you're taking it.
For an enlarged prostate, if tamsulosin is helping your symptoms, you can continue to take it long term.
