View approved original text

This medication is used to effectively improve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia ranging from moderate to severe. It alleviates uncomfortable symptoms such as difficulty urinating, feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and frequent urination, making the patient's daily life more comfortable. It helps reduce the size of the prostate and relieve the pressure on the urethra, aiding in the recovery of normal urination function. This prevents symptom deterioration and contributes to the overall improvement of prostate health. It can be used safely, offering significant benefits for treatment efficacy and patient quality of life. Therefore, it is mainly used for the treatment of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
