Extra Details:: A selective alpha-1A adrenoceptor antagonist that has preferential selectivity for the alpha-1A adrenoceptor in the prostate versus the alpha-1B adrenoceptor in the blood vessels (pKi values are 9.97, 9.64 and 8.86 for alpha-1A, alpha-1B and alpha-1D subtypes respectively). Used for treatment of difficult urination, a common symptom of enlarged prostate. Has negligible effect on arterial blood pressure in vivo Useful as a drug in combination therapy for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. Tamsulosin has been shown to have a significant effect on BPH symptoms and urinary flow rates, as well as improved quality of life. The combination therapy group showed significant improvements in both of these areas when compared with the control group, which consisted of men who were given placebo pills instead of tamsulosin.
