Taking tamsulosin, finasteride, triamterene -hctz, norvasc, benicar (olmesartan). am 68 yrs old. having tenderness in breasts. could drugs be a cause?

Likely: I wonder about triamterene, but, could be others. Check with your pharmacist he can look it up on computer to sort through hundreds of side effects that could possibly occur with these meds. Don't stop any till you talk with your doc to arrange for a replacement.
