PURPOSE: We investigated whether combination therapy with dutasteride and FLOMAX (Tamsulosin) is more effective than either monotherapy alone for improving symptoms and long-term outcomes in men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms and prostatic enlargement (30 cc or greater). We report preplanned 2-year analyses.]]> support Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:55:25 +0300 FLOMAX: treatment of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis http://mymedblog.com/flomax/61-flomax-treatment-of-chronic-non.html http://mymedblog.com/flomax/61-flomax-treatment-of-chronic-non.html
 

The efficacy of FLOMAX (Tamsulosin) in the treatment of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis was evaluated in a randomized clinical observation of 105 male outpatients conducted for 90 days. Patients were randomly divided into five groups (n = 21 per group) according to prostatitis type IIIA or IIIB and therapy regimens FLOMAX (Tamsulosin), levofloxacin, or FLOMAX  (Tamsulosin) plus levofloxacin combination therapy). National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index scores, expressed prostatic massage test and urodynamic urethral pressure and urethral closure pressure tests were performed to evaluate clinical efficacy of the treatments.

Scores for pain, urinary symptoms and quality of life were significantly improved by days 45 and 90 after all treatments in both prostatitis categories. Improvements in symptom scores in the combined treatment group were significantly superior to those in the single treatment groups. FLOMAX (Tamsulosin) and levofloxacin are both effective in the treatment of, and may have an additive effect in, the treatment of non-bacterial prostatitis.]]> support Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:40:55 +0300 FLOMAX: treatment of distal ureteric stones http://mymedblog.com/flomax/60-flomax-treatment-of-distal-ureteric.html http://mymedblog.com/flomax/60-flomax-treatment-of-distal-ureteric.html
 

Low-dose (0.2 mg/day) and standard-dose (0.4 mg/day) FLOMAX were studied in a randomized controlled trial of 75 out-patients with distal ureteroliths in Thailand. Group 1 (n = 25; control) received oral sodium diclofenac 50 mg twice a day for 10 days; group 2 (n = 25) received oral sodium diclofenac 50 mg twice a day for 10 days, with oral FLOMAX 0.2 mg once a day up to 28 days; and group 3 (n = 25) received oral sodium diclofenac 50 mg twice a day for 10 days, with oral FLOMAX 0.4 mg once a day up to 28 days. For groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively, the expulsion rates were 4%, 40% and 68% (significantly different for group 1 vs group 2, and for group 1 vs group 3) and mean expulsion times were 23.00, 9.30 and 10.76 days. Both doses of FLOMAX increased stone expulsion rate and decreased expulsion time in comparison with the control, and have been shown to be safe and effective in Asian patients.]]> support Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:39:28 +0300 FLOMAX: at urinary tract symptoms http://mymedblog.com/flomax/59-flomax-at-urinary-tract-symptoms.html http://mymedblog.com/flomax/59-flomax-at-urinary-tract-symptoms.html

FLOMAX® capsules are indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). FLOMAX capsules are not indicated for the treatment of hypertension.

FLOMAX is approved to treat male urinary symptoms due to BPH, also called an enlarged prostate. Only your doctor can tell if you have BPH, not a more serious condition like prostate cancer. Avoid driving or hazardous tasks for 12 hours after your first dose or increase in dose, as a sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, rarely resulting in fainting. If considering cataract surgery, tell your eye surgeon you’ve taken FLOMAX.]]> support Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:21:39 +0300
