Tamsulosin

Uses

Tamsulosin is used to improve urination in men with an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia.

How it Works

How Tamsulosin works Tamsulosin is an alpha blocker that relaxes the muscles around the bladder exit and prostate gland, allowing urine to pass more easily. This facilitates complete bladder emptying and reduces the frequency and urgency of urination in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Side Effects

Common side effects of Tamsulosin include dizziness, ejaculation disorder, headache, nausea, infection, orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing), and abdominal pain.

Expert Advice

  • Tamsulosin helps relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
  • It does not reduce the size of the prostate.
  • Tamsulosin should be taken with food.
  • You may start to feel better within hours or days of beginning treatment.
  • The full effect is typically observed within 2 weeks.
  • Tamsulosin may cause dizziness or sleepiness.
  • Avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
  • If you are scheduled for eye surgery due to cataracts or glaucoma, inform your eye doctor about your use of Tamsulosin.
  • Notify your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver problems.
