What is Generic Flomax and what are its uses ?

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Generic Flomax) is in a class of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers.

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Generic Flomax) causes the blood vessels to relax and expand, so that blood passes through them more easily. This effect relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Generic Flomax) is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate).

The FDA approved Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Generic Flomax) in 1997.

How does Generic Flomax Works (Mechanism) ?

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Generic Flomax) belongs to a class of medicines called alpha-blockers. Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Generic Flomax) works by blocking alpha-receptors in certain areas of the body.

Alpha-receptors are present on the muscle in the prostate gland. This gland is found only in men and lies at the top of the tube connecting the bladder to the outside (urethra).

The prostate gland often enlarges with advancing age (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and presses on the urethra. This can cause urinary symptoms such as poor flow of urine.

By blocking the alpha-receptors, Tamsulosin Hydrochloride (Generic Flomax) causes the muscle in the prostate to relax. This allows urine to flow freely past the prostate and relieves the urinary symptoms.
