Hello, I am a woman and the doctor prescribed me ADATAM XR because of my frequenturia. On the leaflet there is information that this drug is not indicated for women. Should I still take this medicine?

Yes, you can take Adatam if your doctor has informed you that you want to use the off-label medicine and there is no doubt that there was no mistake. There are reports in the medical literature of the use of medicines containing tamsulosin (the active substance in Adatam) in women. We wrote more about the use of off-label drugs, i.e. outside the manufacturer's indications, here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami Tamsulosin is a drug that does not relax the neck of the bladder and the internal sphincter of the urethra. Due to the significant risk to the fetus and the possibility of absorption of minimal doses of the drug through the skin, contact of women of childbearing potential with the preparation should be limited. If you are unable to get to your doctor, the gdziepolek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja
