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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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:)
