A generic alternative indicated for men's health. Selective muscle relaxation assists in easing urinary flow and improving comfort associated with prostatic enlargement.
Developed to mitigate urinary discomfort caused by an enlarged prostate by relaxing specific muscles to support easier flow and reduced urgency.
