Tamsulosin
Tamsulosin capsules are an effective treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in older men. As an alpha-blocker, Tamsulosin works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, enhancing urinary flow and reducing the symptoms of BPH. These include difficulty in starting urination, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently. Tamsulosin is typically taken once daily, making it a convenient option for ongoing management of BPH. Its targeted action ensures that it primarily affects the prostate rather than other muscles in the body. Consistent use can lead to significant improvements in quality of life for those affected by BPH.Active substance:
