Tamsulosin is classified as an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker, which means it blocks certain receptors in the body that are responsible for regulating the size of blood vessels and muscles. By blocking these receptors, tamsulosin helps to relieve the symptoms of BPH, such as difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, and frequent urination.
Tamsulosin is available as a prescription medication and is typically taken orally in the form of a capsule. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the severity of the symptoms and the individual patient’s needs. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by a healthcare professional and to not exceed the recommended dose.
