Omnic

Omnik is a drug that is effectively used to treat impaired urinary dysfunction, accompanied by benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The active substance - tamsulosin - does not affect the muscles of the walls of blood vessels, thereby not exposing the body to lowering blood pressure. The mechanism of action of the drug leads to relaxation of smooth muscle fibers of the neck and bladder, which increases the flow of urine, even with a significant volume of the prostate gland. On the walls of vessels this action is not due to the pronounced selectivity (selectivity) of tamsulosin.

In the vessels there is a subtype of alpha-adrenergic receptors - alpha 1 B receptors, alpha 1 -A blockers do not cause significant decrease in blood pressure in patients.

Clinical and pharmacological group

The blocker of α1-adrenergic receptors; a remedy for symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Conditions of leave from pharmacies

Pharmacological effect

Omnik is a specific blocker of alpha1-adrenergic receptors found in fibers smooth muscles of the prostatic part of the urethra, the neck of the bladder and the prostate glands. The use of the drug helps to reduce the tone of the smooth muscles of the urethra, bladder and prostate, which leads to a significant improvement in the outflow of urine.

The active component of the drug has a high selectivity (does not affect smooth muscle fibers of the walls of blood vessels), due to which the drug does not provoke systemic reduction of arterial pressure.

Omnik has 100% bioavailability. The maximum concentration of the active substance in the blood is observed 6 hours after oral administration. The drug and its metabolites are excreted by the kidneys. Approximately 9% of the drug is excreted unchanged. The half-life of the drug is between 10 and 13 hours.

Indications for use

Dysuric disorders in benign prostatic hyperplasia (treatment).

Omnik - okak and Omnik: what is the difference?

Omnik undesirable side effect has retrograde ejaculation (throwing sperm during orgasm in the bladder).

Since Omnik-Okas has a gradual release of the drug substance due to the structure, normal ejaculation is maintained. Therefore, Ocas reasonably used in men who have a fairly active sex life, and for which the fact of the presence of ejaculate at the end of the sexual act is important.

Let's pay attention, that more often in schemes or plans of treatment of an exacerbation of a prostatitis tamsulosin is appointed or nominated by a short course, from 10 days till 1 month, therefore it is convenient to buy the form Okas in packing for 10 days. The shortcomings of Okas can be attributed to the price, it costs more than the usual Omnik.

Contraindications

• hypersensitivity to the constituents of the drug;
• severe hepatic impairment;
• Orthostatic hypotension (pressure drop with a sudden change in body position).

The use of Omnik requires caution in patients with severe renal failure.

Dosage and route of administration

The instructions for use indicate that Omnic should be taken 1 time per day for 1 capsule (, mg). Capsule preparation should be swallowed whole, not chewing.

Side effects

When carrying out therapy with Omnic capsules, occasional side effects were observed:

1. From the side of the reproductive organs: retrograde ejaculation.
2. On the part of the digestive system: nausea, vomiting, stool disorders.
3. From the skin: urticaria, itching, angioedema.
4. From the side of the central nervous system: dizziness, headache, general weakness (very rare).
5. From the cardiovascular system: tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension.

Overdose

In clinical practice, there were no cases of acute intoxication with Omnik medicine. When using excessively high doses of the drug, the following symptoms may theoretically occur:

• acute form of arterial hypotension;
• compensatory tachycardia.

As a treatment for the effects of an overdose, it is recommended to lay the patient and introduce vasoconstrictive and volume replacement drugs. To prevent further absorption of the active element, it is possible to rinse the stomach and take sorbents or osmotic laxatives. Also, kidney function should be monitored continuously.

special instructions

Before you start using the drug, read the special instructions:

1. With caution apply in patients prone to arterial hypotension, with severe violations of liver function.
2. Before starting therapy with tamsulosin, the patient should be examined for other diseases that can cause the same symptoms as benign prostatic hyperplasia. Before the beginning of treatment and regularly during therapy, a digital rectal examination and, if required, the determination of a specific antigen of the prostate should be performed. In patients with impaired renal function, a change in the dosing regimen is not required.

During the treatment period, it is necessary to refrain from engaging in potentially dangerous activities that require a high concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Drug Interactions

When using the drug, it is necessary to take into account the interaction with other drugs:

1. Diclofenac and indirect anticoagulants slightly increase the rate of elimination of tamsulosin.
2. In studies in vitro, no interaction was found at the level of hepatic metabolism with amitriptyline, salbutamol, glibenclamide, and finasteride.
3. With the simultaneous use of tamsulosin with cimetidine, a slight increase in the concentration of tamsulosin in the blood plasma, and with furosemide - reduced concentration; with other α1-adrenergic blockers - possibly a marked increase in hypotensive effect.
4. Other α1-adrenoblockers, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, alprostadil, anesthetics, diuretics, levodopa, antidepressants, beta adrenoblockers, slow calcium channel blockers, muscle relaxants, nitrates and ethanol can increase the severity antihypertensive effect.
5. Diazepam, propranolol, trichloromethiazide, chloromadinone, amitriptyline, diclofenac, glibenclamide, simvastatin and warfarin do not change the free tamsulosin fraction in human plasma in vitro. In turn, tamsulosin also does not change the free fractions of diazepam, propranolol, trichloromethiazide and chloromadinone.

Reviews

We picked up some reviews of the men who used the Omnic drug:

1. Semen. I take Omnic for the second year. From the pressure I drink Prestance even longer. The pressure is never lower than 120/70 mm Hg. did not go down. Last year, stones were cut in the kidneys, then every 2 months I go to the clinic to take tests. The doctor said that you need to monitor the kidneys, since I take Omnik capsules. It's been a year, and the tests are in order. Well, if there were drugs from the series of forte. One tablet a week is better than seven.
2. Valera. My wife and I have been living for 25 years. Two of them were raised. As the menopause came, we did not need contraception. And then there was an adenoma of the prostate, with urination and potency problems began. The treatment was under the control of the urologist. I drank Omnik and some other medicine, when my wife got pregnant. Nowhere did I read that tamsulosin had such an effect.
3. Victor. I take omniks for a year as prescribed by the doctor, the result is good, it worked immediately, urinating sharply improved acuity with sexual intercourse weakened, I think because of the effect of the drug on the muscle tissue urethra. Isolation of sperm normal, in parallel I take befungin, after operation of a cancer of a stomach 5 years. Befungin - chaga inhibits the growth of cancer cells, which is what I mean, and the adenoma is close to it. Therefore, prevention will not hurt anyone, plus daily exercise. I wish you all a long and active life. I am 58 years old.
