Prostacure is used in the treatment of functional symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as
difficult urination.
The active ingredient of Prostacure is tamsulosin. Tamsulosin is an alpha 1 -receptor blocker which
reduces the tension in muscles of prostate and urethra. Thus an easier flow of urine through the urethra
and urination are facilitated.
If you are undergoing eye surgery because of cataract (cloudiness of the lens) please inform your eye
specialist before the operation that you are using or have previously used Prostacure. This is because
Prostacure may cause complications during the surgery which can be managed if your specialist is
prepared in advance.
