WHAT FLOMAXTRA XL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT IS FLOMAXTRA XL
Flomaxtra XL contains the active substance tamsulosin hydrochloride.
It
acts by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and urethra (the tube
that
carries urine to the outside), and lets urine pass more readily
through the
urethra and aids urination.
In the prostate gland, bladder and urethra there are specialised cells
containing alpha
1A
-receptors that cause the muscles in the urethra to
tighten. Flomaxtra XL is an alpha
1A
-adrenoceptor blocker, which reduces
the action of these specialised cells and relaxes the muscles making
it
easier to pass water.
WHAT FLOMAXTRA XL IS USED FOR
Flomaxtra XL is used to treat the symptoms associated with benign
prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which is enlargement of the prostate
gland.
These symptoms include difficulty in starting to pass water, frequent
trips to
the toilet to pass water, a feeling of not completely emptying the
bladder
and having to get up several times in the night to pass water.
