About Tamsulosin

  • Relieves urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland
  • Intended solely for use in men

  • Not suitable for use in children

Tamsulosin is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs called alpha-blockers. It helps relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier for you to urinate. The active ingredient in Tamsulosin, tamsulosin hydrochloride, specifically targets these muscles, which can be beneficial for men with symptoms of an enlarged prostate, such as difficulty urinating. If you're a man experiencing urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate, Tamsulosin may be suitable for you.

Dosage and usage

You should take Tamsulosin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The usual recommended dose is 400 micrograms once daily, preferably 30 minutes after the same meal each day. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or open it. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you forget to take a dose, skip the missed dose and take the next one at the usual time. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one.
