Omnik is a pharmacological drug from the group of α1-adrenergic blockers used to treat urinary disorders in benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Omnik is produced in blisters of 10 tablets, in one carton 1 or 3 blisters.

Pharmacological action of Omnik

According to the instructions, Omnik is a specific blocker of α ₁ -adrenergic receptors, which are located in the smooth muscle fibers of the prostate gland, the bladder neck and the prostatic part of the urethra. As a result of the action of the drug, the tone of the smooth muscles of the prostate, bladder and urethra decreases, which leads to an improvement in urine outflow. The active substance Omnik has a high selectivity, that is, it does not affect smooth muscle fibers in the walls of blood vessels, so that the drug does not cause a systemic decrease in blood pressure.

According to the instructions, Omnik has almost 100% bioavailability. The maximum dose of the drug in the blood is determined 6 hours after ingestion. Omnic and its metabolites are excreted by the kidneys, approximately 9% of the drug is excreted unchanged. The half-life of the drug is 10-13 hours. If the patient has severe renal failure, the use of Omnik requires great care.

Interaction of Omnik with other drugs

According to the instructions, Omnik can be combined with the use of atenolol, enalapril, nifedipine, since no interactions have been identified between these drugs.

With the simultaneous administration of Omnik and cimetidine, a slight increase in the concentration of tamsulosin in the blood serum was found, but this does not require a dose adjustment of the drug.

When using furosemide, the concentration of Omnik in the blood serum may decrease slightly, but the concentration of the drug remains in the therapeutic range.

The use of diclofenac and warfarin can lead to an increase in the rate of excretion of Omnic.

In experiments in vitro (in vitro), no interaction of Omnik with diazepam, propranolol, simvastatin was found.

The simultaneous use of Omnik with other α1-blockers can cause a decrease in blood pressure.

special instructions

The use of Omnik in some cases can cause a decrease in blood pressure, which can lead to fainting. When the first symptoms of hypotension (weakness, dizziness) appear, the patient should lie down or sit down and remain in this position until these signs disappear.

Before and during treatment with Omnik, an ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and the determination of blood PSA (prostate-specific antigen) are recommended.
