What is flomax?
Generic Name: tamsulosin
Other Brand Names:
tamsulosin
Tamsulosin is in a group of drugs called alpha-adrenergic (AL-fa ad-ren-ER-jik) blockers.
Tamsulosin relaxes your veins and arteries so that blood can more easily pass through them. It
also relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
Tamsulosin is used to improve urination in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia
(enlarged prostate).
Tamsulosin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
