Description
What is Tamsulosin?
Tamsulosin is a medication prescribed to alleviate uncomfortable urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate in men (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
How does it work?
Tamsulosin belongs to a group of medicines known as alpha-blockers. Tamsulosin works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate which enable the passage of urine. This then allows the urine to pass more easily.

This medication is prescribed to adults and may not be suitable for some people, including those with previous allergic reactions to tamsulosin or a similar medicine in the past. Consult with your doctor if you are unsure.
Side Effects
All medications can cause potential side effects, below we have listed some potential side effects, however, these do not always occur.
