Abstract

Alpha1-adrenoblocker tamsulosin reduces muscle spasm in the ureteric wall, decreases peristalsis below and raises pressure above the stone thus facilitating stone passage. Patients on tamsulosin had spontaneous stone passage in 73.8% cases while only 22.4% patients on routine therapy became stone free. Tamsulosin also shortens hospital stay. Use of tamsulosin 0.4 mg daily in patients with distal ureteric stones is pathogenetically validated, is highly clinically and cost effective.
