Indoramin

Indoramin

Indoramin is a drug to relieve symptoms of benign prostate gland enlargement, such as difficulty urinating, weak stream of urine, or frequent urination. In addition, this drug can also be used to lower blood pressure in hypertension.

Indoramin will block alpha receptors in the muscles of blood vessels, prostate gland, or bladder. That way, the muscles in the prostate gland or bladder will relax and urine flow more smoothly. This way of working can also dilate blood vessels so that blood flow is smoother and blood pressure decreases.
