Flomax, or tamsulosin, can be a reliable solution for the symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). In men over 65, the prostate often enlarges without being cancerous, a condition that can cause discomfort and difficulty in urination. Flomax steps in to relax the muscles in the urethra and prostate, providing much-needed relief and facilitating urination.
It is sometimes prescribed to facilitate the passing of painful kidney stones.
