Tamsulosin

Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker. It is prescribed for enlarged prostate (BPH) urinary symptoms and passage of kidney stones. Below you will find how it is used, how it works, its possible side effects and the brands of Tamsulosin you can order online from Sargodha.

What is Tamsulosin used for?

Tamsulosin relieves urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH), such as a weak stream, needing to pass urine often, especially at night, and the feeling of not emptying the bladder. It is also used to help pass small kidney stones.

How Tamsulosin works

Tamsulosin relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, so urine flows more freely and the bladder empties more fully.
