Tamsulosin is an alpha blocker. It works by relaxing the muscles around the bladder
exit and prostate gland so urine is passed more easily. This helps empty the bladder
completely and reduces the need to pass urine frequently or urgently in BPH.

Tamsulosin is used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
BPH is a condition that can occur in men. With BPH, the prostate is enlarged but
isn’t cancerous.
