Will flomax (tamsulosin) help with kidney stones in men?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Helps to pass them: Flomax (tamsulosin) dilates the ureter as well as the bladder neck. Ureteral dilatation makes it easier for small stones top pass, that is how it helps with kidney stones. Often makes intervention for ureteral stones unnecessary.
