A member asked:
After successfully using tamsulosin for years (bph), its nasal congestion is no longer well controlled by flonase. what are my alternatives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ENT: Since alpha blocker drugs like tamsulosin cause nasal congestion by vasodilation (as opposed to the vasoconstriction of a decongestant) I can see no reason why nasal steroids would be particularly helpful with congestion solely due to this medication. I suggest you see an ENT or allergy physician for evaluation.
