Flomax, also known by its generic name tamsulosin, is an alpha-adrenergic blocker. Itâs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help improve urine flow in men who have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is an enlargement of the prostate thatâs not caused by cancer. Itâs fairly common among older men. Sometimes, the prostate becomes so large that it obstructs the flow of urine. Flomax works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate, which leads to improved flow of urine and fewer symptoms of BPH.
