Has been taking tamsulosin for several years, he has stomach aches which according to his doctor he has to stop taking a new cholesterol medication atorvastatin 10 mg. (stomach aches are like currents in the stomach that hurt)

Hello,

It is possible to take Advil with tamsulosin. There is no major interaction between the two.

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

P.S. Take Advil and not Advil Muscle or Aches. The latter contains a drug that could make Tamsulosin less effective.
