Apo-Tamis (tamsulosin) is a drug mainly for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, blocking alpha-1 receptors in the urinary tract, which improves urine outflow. In postmenopausal women, the doctor can use it off-label, based on his best knowledge and experience, and not on the basis of the manufacturer's indications, e.g. for urogenital atrophy or micturition disorders. It is also a common practice. We wrote more about it here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami
Take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop treatment on your own and report any side effects to your doctor.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you are not able to take advantage of the advice, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
