CAPSULE IS, AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sabamine is an herbal medicine used for mild urination problems caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, e.g.&nbsp;nocturnal urination.&nbsp;Used after a doctor has determined that there is no serious illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prostate&nbsp;(&nbsp;bladder neck gland&nbsp;) is located just below the bladder in men and encloses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the upper part of the urethra.\u00a0Its growth is controlled by the male sex hormone\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/medicines\/tostrex\/\">testosterone<\/a>\u00a0and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hormonal changes that occur with increasing age are considered to be the reason why<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the size of the&nbsp;prostate&nbsp;increases with age.&nbsp;This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(&nbsp;benign&nbsp;prostatic hyperplasia&nbsp;).&nbsp;In the 50s, the&nbsp;prostate&nbsp;is enlarged in most men,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>but not everyone is bothered by this.&nbsp;In some, however, the enlarged gland presses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>constrict the urethra in a way that leads to urination problems.&nbsp;These ailments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>can manifest themselves as frequent urges and difficulty emptying the bladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other more serious diseases, such as&nbsp;prostate&nbsp;or bladder cancer, can cause<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>symptoms similar to benign prostatic hyperplasia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BEFORE YOU USE SABAMINE, SOFT CAPSULES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Sabamin, a soft capsule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to saw palmetto or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take special care with Sabamin, a soft capsule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before taking Sabamin to avoid a serious illness (&nbsp;prostate&nbsp;or bladder cancer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the symptoms worsen or persist for more than 6 months, you should contact a doctor to have a new assessment made.\u00a0Also, consult a doctor if new symptoms should occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you regularly use medicines that affect the tendency to bleed (\u00a0anticoagulants\u00a0) such as\u00a0warfarin\u00a0(Warren), you should consult your doctor before using Saban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use of other medicines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drugs can sometimes affect each other&#8217;s effects when used concomitantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It cannot be ruled out that saw palmetto may potentiate the effect of\u00a0anticoagulants\u00a0(eg Warren).\u00a0Sabamine should therefore not be used with such drugs without a risk-benefit assessment.\u00a0It is therefore important that you tell your doctor that you are using Saban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of contact with a doctor or other healthcare professional, remember to tell them that you are taking or have recently taken this over-the-counter medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine is not for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The potential effect of the drug on male&nbsp;fertility&nbsp;has not been studied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sabamine has no or negligible effect on the ability to drive and use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are authorized to drive motor vehicles or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or other healthcare professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO USE SABAMINE, A SOFT CAPSULE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use Sabamin exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor advised.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Adults and older men:<\/em>&nbsp;1 capsule daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swallow the capsule whole with liquid, preferably with a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sabamine should not be used by children or women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you use more Sabamin than you should&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ingested an overdose\u00a0of\u00a0the medicine or if, for example, a child has accidentally ingested the medicine, contact a doctor or hospital for risk assessment and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to take Sabamin, a soft capsule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take a double&nbsp;dose&nbsp;to make up for a forgotten capsule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, Sabamin can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gastrointestinal disorders, such as nausea and diarrhea, have been reported (occurring in an unknown number of users).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO STORE SABAMINE SOFT CAPSULES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep out of sight and reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not store above 25 \u00b0 C.&nbsp;The capsules are stored in a sealed jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use before the expiry date which is stated on the carton after EXP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The medicine should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste.&nbsp;Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medicines no longer required.&nbsp;These measures will help to protect the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.
