How BrandName works 

BrandName works by relaxing the tight muscles in the prostate and bladder neck that squeeze the urinary tube, making it hard to pass urine especially in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). By targeting specific receptors called alpha-1A, it gently eases the pressure like a trusted key unlocking a stubborn door, helping urine flow more freely and reducing frequent or hesitant bathroom trips. It doesn’t lower blood pressure much and is generally well-tolerated, though you might feel lightheaded or notice reduced semen during sex.

BrandName Summary 

BrandName is a medicine used by men who have trouble peeing because of an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by relaxing muscles of the bladder and prostate, making it easier to pass urine, which leads to reduced frequent urination and weak urine flow. Some patients may notice a cough and fever or have little to no semen during sex. People with serious kidney or liver problems, or those taking certain strong medicines, should avoid it. Grapefruit juice and alcohol can mess with how the medicine works, so they should be avoided. You can keep BrandName stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. BrandName overdose is rare but may cause dizziness or fainting, and risk rises above 4 mg. Patients of age 60+ years, with low blood pressure and with liver or kidney dysfunction should avoid this medication and should consume only under medical supervision.
