A member asked:
If tamsulosin permanently affects alpha 1a receptors in the iris, why does everyone say that its effects on alpha 1a receptors in the smooth muscle of the urinary tract discontinue once you stop taking it?

The eye is not the prostate is my guess. But discuss with your local team who knows you and what u have.
