These symptoms may include difficulty urinating (weak urine stream), post-micturition dribbling, urgency, and the need to urinate frequently both at night and during the day.

Tamsulosin may affect other medications. These may in turn affect the efficacy of tamsulosin. Tamsulosin may interact with:

• Diclofenac, an analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication. This medication may accelerate the elimination of tamsulosin from the body, thus shortening the time during which tamsulosin is effective.
• Warfarin, a medication to prevent blood coagulation. This medication may accelerate the elimination of tamsulosin from the body, thus shortening the time during which tamsulosin is effective.
• Another alpha-1A adrenergic receptor antagonist. The combination may reduce your blood pressure, causing dizziness or lightheadedness.
• Ketoconazole, a medication to treat fungal skin infections. This medication may increase the effect of tamsulosin.
