Tamsulosin For the treatment of BPH, blocking alpha-1 receptors helps to relax the muscles of the prostate and the bladder neck (where urine leaves the bladder). Tamsulosin does not shrink the prostate, as some other BPH medications do. However, by relaxing the muscles of the prostate and bladder, it helps to quickly relieve BPH symptoms. While the medication can help with symptoms, it is not a cure for BPH.

- Tamsulosin is a selective alpha-1a adrenergic antagonist used in the therapy of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Tamsulosin therapy is associated with a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations, but clinically apparent acute liver injury due to tamsulosin is very rare. Background Tamsulosin is a selective alpha-1a adrenergic antagonist which is used to treat signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Tamsulosin inhibits alpha adrenergic receptors present on smooth muscle in the bladder neck and prostate (alpha-1a adrenergic receptors). It has minimal effects on alpha-1b adrenergic receptors present in arterioles which are responsible for the antihypertensive effects of the nonspecific alpha-1 adrenergic blockers.
