Tamsolin tablet 0.4mg: uses, side effects, dosage and price

Tamsolin tablet 0.4mg is a drug that men mostly use to ease the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is another name for a swollen prostate. Alpha-blockers are the type of drug that makes it work by calming the muscles in both the prostate and the bladder. It’s important to know that these pills do not shrink the prostate gland, even though they do help with symptoms. It works well for problems like not being able to start urinating, weak urine flow, and needing to go to the bathroom often or right away, even at night (nocturia).
