I'm a bit worried because my doctor just prescribed me Urimax 0.4 tablets, but I know it's typically meant for men. Can women safely take it too? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Urimax 0.4 mg is commonly prescribed for men to manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate, but it can also be prescribed for women in certain cases, such as for treating urinary symptoms related to bladder issues. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions. Potential side effects may include dizziness, headaches, or gastrointestinal disturbances, so it's essential to monitor for any changes. Always consult your doctor if you experience any discomfort.
