Description

Flomaxtra XL is a medication that contains the active ingredient tamsulosin hydrochloride, which belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-blockers. It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier for you to urinate. This medication is suitable for men who have symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland, such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, or a weak urine stream.
