Dosage & Administration
One tablet of Himplasia twice daily is sufficient dosage in most cases of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
Best Adjuvants
The best suitable Adjuvant for Himplasia is water. One should take Himplasia with water.
Dose Adjustments
We observed some cases do not respond to dosage of one tablet of Himplasia twice daily, so they might require other remedies or increased dosage of Himplasia. However, we prefer using Himplasia with Chandraprabha Vati and Saw Palmetto.
Recommended Treatment Duration
Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) treatment requires a long-term administration of Himplasia. The results may vary person to person, so it also requires urodynamic monitoring.
Safety Profile
Himplasia is LIKELY SAFE & WELL TOLERABLE in most people with BPH.
Side Effects
There are no side effects observed with the use of Himplasia even for a long-term use of about 6 months on regular basis.
Allergic Reactions (Allergy)
If you are allergic to any ingredient of Himplasia, you should avoid it.
Warnings & Precautions
A special precaution should be taken in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Himplasia contains Tribulus Terrestris and Acacia Nilotica, which have mild antihypertensive action. While taking Himplasia with antihypertensive drugs, patients require monitoring blood pressure on regular basis to avoid hypotension.
Does it interfere with warfarin? Also I cannot take Flomax, Hytrin or Proscar because it gives me skipped heart beats probably due to (1) alpha blocker and (2) 5 alpha reductase inhibitor. Will Himplasia give me skipped heart beats because it affects (1) and (2)?
We did not observe any such interaction in our patients. However, we always advise them to keep at least 3 hours gap between other medicines and Himplasia for precautionary purposes.
Dear Sir,
Is it safe to take this medicine for those who are already under heart treating medication due to heart attack? These medicines may be blood thinner and for cholesterol controlling etc. If there is any interaction, please put light on it.
Heart patients commonly use Himplasia in India without any reportable adverse effect or interaction. We didn’t observe any in our patients.
However, one should keep 3 hours gap between Himplasia and blood thinner or statins for precautionary purposes.
Himplasia may have hypotensive action, so regular monitoring of blood pressure is required in people with high blood pressure and taking medicines for it.
