Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Coadministration of furosemide and tamsulosin appears to have no significant effects on either drug. In ten healthy volunteers, administration of a single 20 mg intravenous dose of furosemide in combination with tamsulosin 0.8 mg/day to steady state had no effect on the pharmacodynamics of furosemide as measured by excretion of electrolytes. While furosemide produced an 11% to 12% reduction in tamsulosin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC), these changes are not expected to be clinically significant and do not require adjustment of the tamsulosin dosage.
