Description
Flomax / Flomaxtra is used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged
prostate--a condition technically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia
or BPH. The walnut-sized prostate gland surrounds the urethra (the duct
that drains the bladder). If the gland becomes enlarged, it can squeeze
the urethra, interfering with the flow of urine. This can cause
difficulty in starting urination, a weak flow of urine, and the need to
urinate urgently or more frequently. Flomax / Flomaxtra doesn't shrink
the prostate. Instead, it relaxes the muscle around it, freeing the
flow of urine and decreasing urinary symptoms.
