How Tamsulosin Works
Tamsulosin is the active ingredient in Flomax; it is used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Tamsulosin does not shrink the prostate; it merely works by treating the symptoms such as a weak urine stream. Tamsulosin helps relax the muscles of the prostate and the opening of the bladder.
Generic Flomax vs Brand Flomax
Brand Flomax is manufactured by Boehringer-Ingelheim and is marketed under 3 different names around the world. It is only known as Flomax in North America; keep in mind that Blue sky drugs is a global pharmacy and your order of Flomax may have an alternate name depending on it’s country of origin. Generic Flomax or Tamsulosin is manufactured outside of a Boehringer-Ingleheim facility; this is the biggest difference between Flomax and Tamsulosin. Generic Tamsulosin and Flomax are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficiency, chemical makeup and therapeutic use. At Blue Sky Drugs, we stand behind our products 100% and only provide you with the highest quality products from international affiliated pharmacies. If you have any questions regarding the generic manufacturers for Flomax or have any concerns feel free to contact us, call toll-free: 1-866-995-7387 or by email at: CustomerService@BlueSkyDrugs.com
