Hello,

Yes, both of these listed medications are the same. Contiflo XL and pinexel PR contain the same active ingredient medicine tamsulosin hydrochloride 400 micrograms which can be safely and effectively used for the control of symptoms associated with benign prostate enlargement.

It is OK for your beloved husband to take either of them.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
