Scientific Evidence

Tamsulosin, the active ingredient in Flosin capsules, is a selective antagonist of alpha-1A adrenergic receptors in the prostate. By blocking these receptors, tamsulosin relaxes the smooth muscles in the bladder neck and prostate, improving urine flow and reducing BPH symptoms.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of tamsulosin in improving urinary symptoms associated with BPH. A study by Roehrborn et al. (2008) showed that tamsulosin significantly improved peak urine flow rate and symptom scores compared to placebo.

Additional Information

It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking before starting Flosin capsules, as drug interactions may occur. Common side effects of tamsulosin include dizziness, headache, and abnormal ejaculation.

Always follow the prescribed dosage and do not exceed the recommended daily intake. If you experience any severe side effects or allergic reactions, seek medical attention immediately.
