What does it do?

Tamsulosin Extended-Release Capsules belong to the class of alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonists. They are primarily used to relax the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder neck to facilitate urination.

Tamsulosin Extended-Release Capsules block alpha-1 receptors located in the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in the relaxation of smooth muscles. This helps lower the pressure in the urethra and assists in easier urination.
