What is tamsulosin used for?

Flomax (tamsulosin) is an alpha blocker medication used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or enlarged prostate). These symptoms include difficulty in beginning urination, weak stream and the need to urinate frequently or urgently. It does not shrink the prostate but relaxes the muscles in your prostate and bladder neck therefore making it easier for men to urinate. This BPH medication should not be used in women or children.
