How does Urilosin work?

Dr. B. K. Agrawal MBBS, MD , Cardiology, General Physician, Internal Medicine

Urilosin blocks receptors in the prostate, prostatic capsule, prostate urethra, and bladder neck. When these receptors are blocked, smooth muscle relaxation occurs in the bladder neck and prostate, decreasing the urinary outflow resistance in men.
