Medicine Description prostasin 2mg
Prostasin 2 mg 20 tablets is a medication that primarily functions as an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist. It works by selectively blocking alpha-1 receptors in the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck. This action leads to relaxation of these muscles, resulting in decreased resistance to urinary flow. Consequently, it alleviates symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by allowing for improved urine passage and reducing the strain experienced during urination. By inhibiting these receptors, prostasin not only eases urinary symptoms but may also help in reducing the overall stiffness of the urinary tract, thus enhancing patient comfort.
