A member asked:

4 mg tamsulosin once daily, is having no effect on the spasms caused by ureteral stent. is there anything that can help with it?

Dose increase: Check first with the doctor who prescribed it because tamsulosin may be increased to 0.8mg daily in 2 doses of 0.4 each.Hopefully you will get rid of the stent soon:)
