Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes those two medications can be used together.

Question 2

can tolterodine tartrate and tamsulosin hydrochloride inn work in synergy? my gp prescribed them. i have ckd and chronic prostatitise.

Accepted Answer

BPH Tx : There are several papers which have outlined the safety and effectiveness of combining a medicine like tolteridine (Detrol) with a med like tamsulosin (Flomax). However, in a 45 y/o male I would be more inclined to recommend prostate surgery instead of adding more medication, as there may be a greater long term benefit and you may end up taking fewer meds instead if more meds!

Question 3

how does detrol (tolterodine) work?

Accepted Answer

Anticholinergic: Tolterodine is an anticholinergic which relaxes the smooth muscle of the bladder, resulting in the therapeutic effects along with other muscles, causing the side effects.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Drug used in urology: Tamsulosin, also known under the name flomax, (tamsulosin) is a drug designed to relax smooth muscle cells of the urinary tract. Its approved use is to improve urination in prostate enlargement (bph). It has been shown to improve urinary symptoms, or ipss score. It is also used to help pass kidney stones by relaxing the ureter. It is also used, at times, as an adjunct in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

Question 5

what is a better option than flomax (tamsulosin)?

Accepted Answer

2 groups:  3 groups of medicines for prostate enlargement symptoms:Alpha blockers e.g.tamsulosin(Flomax) &amp; terazosin(Hytrin).5-alpha reductase inhibitors such as finasteride(Proscar)&amp;dutasteride(Avodart).There is also Jalyn which has 1 of each of these 2 groups. 3rd group is PDE-5 inhibitors(Cialis). It varies from person to person which is better,but the 5-alpha reductase inh's take several months to work.

Question 6

what happens when i stop taking flomax (tamsulosin)?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: If Flomax (tamsulosin) has helped improve urine flow, slow urine flow will return soon after stopping Flomax (tamsulosin) as expected. Meanwhile, in time, retrograde ejaculation may be self-corrected. More? Ask Doc timely.
