Tamsulosin, sold under the brand name Flomax among others, is a medication used to treat symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and chronic prostatitis and to help with the passage of kidney stones. The evidence for benefit with a kidney stone is better when the stone is larger. It is taken by mouth.Common side effects include dizziness, headache, sleeplessness, nausea, blurry vision, and sexual problems. Other side effects may include feeling lightheaded with standing and angioedema. Tamsulosin is an alpha blocker and works by relaxing muscles in the prostate. Specifically it is an α1 adrenergic receptor blocker.Tamsulosin was approved for medical use in the United States in 1997. It is available as a generic medication. In 2020, it was the 24th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 24 million prescriptions. Medical uses
Tamsulosin is primarily used for benign prostatic hyperplasia and to help with the passage of kidney stones. Tamsulosin, however, appears to be effective only for stones over 4 mm and less than 10 mm in size.Tamsulosin is also used as an add-on treatment for acute urinary retention. People may void more successfully after catheter removal if they are taking tamsulosin. People taking tamsulosin also are less likely to need re-catheterization.Tamsulosin does not decrease the overall size of the prostate in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and is not recommended for prevention of prostate cancer.
Thanks to these pattern III models some specific experimental treatments have appearedThe model for primary progressive MS is the Theilers virus model. This model presents features not available in others, like microglial activation. Alternatives
Recently it has been found that CSF from MS patients can carry the disease to rodents, opening the door to an alternative model. References
