By: mistina1

"Flomax contains the active ingredient tamsulosin which is a very potent drug in the treatment of various prostate conditions in men. As such, this drug is of no use to women (the prostate gland is found only in men, under their urinary bladder and is important in manufacturing the overall volume of the seminal fluid).

In the US, the trademark of Flomax is owned by several companies, including Allscripts and Boehringer Igelheim. Currently, the drug is sold with the name of Flomaxtra, and the name Flomax is actually of the modified release capsules that were earlier introduced into the market.

Why is Flomax used?

Flomax has the main indication in the treatment of the prostate condition known as BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), which is quite simply known as the enlargement of the prostate gland in men. This is responsible, among other things, in an erratic flow of urine from the male bladder, causing frequent urinary urges but with very little discharge. Its main effect is in improving the flow of urine by relaxing the muscles of the urinary bladder and the prostate which helps to relieve the prostatic obstructions.

Tamsulosin is preferred over other drugs in the treatment of prostate conditions because it causes significantly lower side effects than other medications. It is also used in the combination therapy in conjunction with Avodart for treating prostatic problems.
