TAMSULOSIN (Flomax®) is used to treat enlargement of the
prostate gland in men (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). It
is not for use in women. Tamsulosin works by relaxing muscles (buy Soma) in the prostate and bladder neck at the site of
the obstruction. This improves urine flow and reduces BPH symptoms.
