What are the Effects of Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Capsules?

Prostatic hyperplasia is a common male disease, especially among middle-aged and elderly men. It is prone to symptoms such as increased nocturia, difficulty urinating, urinary retention, and sexual dysfunction. These symptoms pose significant health risks to patients and require timely treatment. A commonly used drug for the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia is Tamsulosin hydrochloride capsules.
