Tamsulosin: When it is taken and side effects

Administered orally, tamsulosin is used in the treatment of induced symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy. It can be used either alone or in combination with other active ingredients.

Medicines that contain it, in order to be dispensed, require presentation of a repeatable medical prescription (RR); however, as they are classified as class A drugs, their cost can be reimbursed by the National Health System.
