WHAT UROREC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT UROREC IS
Urorec belongs to a group of medicines called alpha
1A
-adrenoreceptor blockers.
Urorec is selective for the receptors located in the prostate, bladder
and urethra. By blocking these
receptors, it causes smooth muscle in these tissues to relax. This
makes it easier for you to pass water
and relieves your symptoms.
WHAT UROREC IS USED FOR
Urorec is used in adult men to treat the urinary symptoms associated
with benign enlargement of the
prostate (prostatic hyperplasia), such as:
•
difficulty in starting to pass water,
•
a feeling of not completely emptying the bladder,
•
a more frequent need to pass water, even at night.
