Uses / Indications
Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0.4mg SR (Prosilax SR Capsules) is indicated for:
Treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (enlarged prostate) in adult men, including urinary hesitancy, weak stream, incomplete bladder emptying, frequency and nocturia.

How It Works
Tamsulosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist (selective for α₁A/α₁D subtype) found predominantly in prostate and bladder neck smooth muscle. By blocking these receptors, it relaxes the prostate and bladder neck muscles, thereby improving urine flow and relieving BPH symptoms.
