[QUOTE="Matthew1975, post: 130613, member: 16306"] Flomax (tamsulosin) is prescribed by ER LIP's all the time when a patient has a kidney stone. It helps you pass the stone, it doesn't have to be a lifelong medication, so chances are any side effects that concern you are not likely to occur, or would stop when you stop the medication. I've taken care of many patients who have recurring kidney stones and have successfully used Flomax in the past to help pass their previous stones. You may be thinking of medications like Avodart and Proscar/Propecia (dutasteride and finasteride) which are actually powerful anti-androgenic medications and, in my opinion, should come with a black box warning. Propecia does terrible things to men who feel too young to be bald, yet have no idea what they are really taking. Avodart and Proscar/Propecia are not even supposed to be touched by a woman who could even be remotely pregnant because of the irreversible, teratogenic effects they will have on a male fetus. Women are prescribed Flomax all the time to help with kidney stones, or to help with urine flow. Biggest thing to be careful with is Flomax can drop your blood pressure. So, when you stand up from bed or a chair, stand up slowly, and pause for 10-15 seconds to make sure you don't become lightheaded. If you do, simply sit back down until it passes. Also, if you take blood pressure medication, be really careful. (I'm sure your pharmacist and/or doctor went over this stuff already). [/QUOTE]
