Tamsulosin Hcl is a medication used by men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the bladder. This helps to relieve symptoms such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate often or urgently, including during the middle of the night. Tamsulosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha blockers. It is important not to use this medication to treat high blood pressure.
The usual recommended daily dosage of Tamsulosin Hcl is 0.4 mg taken once a day. It is best to take it 30 minutes after the same meal each day, as this can help to reduce the risk of side effects. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor and pharmacist, and not to take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed. Remember to take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
