I had a kidney stone issue and was on this medicine before i found out i was expecting. Now im worried about whether i should be taking it at all. Im planning to ask my doctor but wanted to know if anyone here was on it too.
My doctor always said never assume any medicine is safe in pregnancy without checking, even common ones. For tamsulosin specifically you really need the prescribing doctor's input since it's not a routine pregnancy medicine. A quick call to them will give you a clear answer.
Honestly the only safe answer here is ask your doctor. Medicines in pregnancy are decided case by case weighing the need against any risk. Dont start or stop it on your own, ring your doctor today.
I wouldnt want to guess on something specific like this, every prescription depends on your full picture. With my own meds I always confirmed with the doctor before continuing in pregnancy. Please do the same for this one.
Please dont decide on any medicine like this from a forum. Tamsulosin is one your doctor has to specifically clear for your situation. Call your gynac or the prescribing doctor and ask directly before taking it.
