Product Description
Flomax (Tamsulosin)
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM : Tamsulosin is a drug applied for
the treatment of men who suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
and have difficulty with urination. In men, the canal which carries urine
from the bladder to the penis (called the urethra) goes through the prostate
gland. At elderly men, the prostate gland extends, and the muscle cells
in the prostate gland and the neck of the bladder (which control the flow
of urine) tighten. Problems with urination arise owing to the combination
of enlargement and tightening of muscles which compresses the urethra
and obstructs the flow of urine from the bladder. Normally the tightening
or contraction of the muscle cells is supervised by nerves. Tightening
of the muscle cells is controled by one type of nerve called the alpha
adrenergic nerves. These nerves release a chemical compound similar to
epinephrine (adrenalin). Tamsulosin causes a relaxation of the the muscles
by inhibiting the effects of this chemical on them. This reduces a barrier
to passage of urine. Another drugs which inhibite alpha adrenergic nerves
throughout the body are used for the treatment of diseases of the heart,
blood vessels, and prostate for example, prazosin (Minipress), terazosin
(Hytrin), doxazosin (Cardura), and alfuzosin (Uroxatral). Having the minimal
effect on alpha adrenergic nerves receptors elsewhere in the body, tamsulosin
is more active against the alpha adrenergic nerves of the prostate and
bladder neck, that's why tamsulosin causes fewer side effects than other
alpha adrenergic blocking drugs, especially in lowering of blood pressure.
In case of therapy by tamsulosin doses can be optimum from the begining
while treatment by other alpha adrenergic blocking drugs need to be started
at lower doses to minimize the side effects. Tamsulosin was approved by
the FDA in 1997.
