About Flokind-0.4mg Er Tablet
Flokind-0.4mg Er Tablet belongs to the category of medicine known as alpha-blocker, used primarily for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH (enlarged prostate), and urinary bladder outlet obstruction. Flokind-0.4mg Er Tablet is for use by men only and not indicated for use by women. Flokind-0.4mg Er Tablet does not cure prostate cancer. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused by the overproduction of a hormone called ‘dihydrotestosterone’ in men. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and frequent urination. Flokind-0.4mg Er Tablet helps in getting relief from these symptoms.
Flokind-0.4mg Er Tablet contains Tamsulosin (alpha-blocker), which primarily treats the enlarged prostate gland, leading to urinary problems (like difficulty in passing urine and a frequent urination urge). Flokind-0.4mg Er Tablet relaxes the prostate gland’s muscles and urinary bladder neck at the obstruction site, resulting in improved urine flow and reduced BPH symptoms.
