Properties
Al-adrenergic receptor blocker; a remedy for the symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Selectively blocks postsynaptic alAadrenergic receptors of smooth muscles of the prostate gland, bladder neck, prostatic urethra. As a result, the tone of the smooth muscles of these formations decreases, and the outflow of urine is facilitated. At the same time, the symptoms of obstruction and irritation associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia are reduced. The therapeutic effect appears approximately 2 weeks after the start of treatment.
The ability to block alB-adrenergic receptors of vascular smooth muscles is much less pronounced in tamsulosin, therefore the eff on systemic blood pressure is insignificant.
