DescriptionDosageSide EffectsPhotos

Tamsulosin is used by men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (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 of BPH 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).

Usual Adult Dose for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Initial Dose: 0.4 mg orally once a day
Maximum Dose: 0.8 mg orally once a day

Comments:
-If use is discontinued or interrupted for several days at either the 0.4 mg or 0.8 mg dose, treatment should be initiated again with the 0.4 mg once a day dose.

Use: Treatment of the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
