Get Prescription Tamsulosin Online

Tamsulosin may be right for you if you're experiencing urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate (BPH) and don’t have conditions like low blood pressure or upcoming eye surgery. A healthcare provider can confirm with a symptom review and physical exam.

The best time to take tamsulosin is 30 minutes after the same meal each day, usually after dinner. Taking it with food helps reduce the risk of side effects like dizziness or lightheadedness.

No, tamsulosin is not like Viagra® – they work differently and treat different conditions.

Tamsulosin is used to treat urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate (BPH). It relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder to improve urine flow.

Viagra® (sildenafil) is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It increases blood flow to the penis by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide.

While both can affect smooth muscle and blood flow, they target different systems and are not interchangeable. In some cases, they may be prescribed together, but only under medical supervision.

Tamsulosin doesn’t typically cause ED, but it can affect ejaculation in some men. The most common sexual side effect is retrograde ejaculation, where semen goes backward into the bladder instead of out through the penis. This can lead to:

• Little or no semen during orgasm
• Cloudy urine afterward (in some cases)

This isn’t harmful and doesn’t affect sexual pleasure, but it can be concerning if you’re trying to conceive. ED itself is not a common side effect, though it may occasionally occur. If you notice changes in sexual function after starting tamsulosin, talk with your provider – they can help determine if the medication is the cause or if something else may be contributing.

Yes, tamsulosin can help with kidney stones – especially small stones in the lower part of the ureter (the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder).

• It works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the ureter, which can:
• Make it easier for the stone to pass
• Reduce pain episodes
• Shorten the time it takes to pass the stone

This use is considered off-label, meaning it’s not FDA-approved specifically for kidney stones, but it’s commonly recommended in certain cases. It’s most effective for stones smaller than 10 mm, and results can vary based on the stone’s size and location.

If you're dealing with a kidney stone, a healthcare provider can help decide if tamsulosin is appropriate for you.

Tamsulosin can lower blood pressure slightly, but it’s less likely to do so than older alpha blockers. It mainly targets receptors in the prostate and bladder, not the blood vessels — so it's considered uroselective.

Common side effects can include dizziness, headache, runny nose, and abnormal ejaculation. Because it lowers blood pressure slightly, it can occasionally cause dizziness or fainting, especially when standing up quickly.
