On this episode of the RLP podcast, I discuss tamsulosin pharmacology. Tamsulosin inhibits alpha receptors which helps improve urine flow in patients with BPH. As an off-label use, you may see tamsulosin used to try to aid in the passage of renal stones. Tamsulosin concentrations may be increased by CYP3A4 inhibitors and reduced by CYP3A4 inducers.
