Tamsulosin alone or with tadalafil for enlarged prostate symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking tadalafil (at 2.5 mg or 5 mg) along with tamsulosin is better for treating urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate than taking tamsulosin alone. It aims to find the best dose combination to improve your quality of life.

This trial tests whether adding tadalafil to tamsulosin helps men pass a catheter removal test after a first-time urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to find which treatment works best to avoid needing a catheter again.
This trial compares two medications, silodosin and tamsulosin, to see which one works better for men with frequent or difficult urination caused by an enlarged prostate. All participants will try both medicines at different times to find the best option.
This study compares taking tamsulosin (a drug that relaxes the prostate) every day vs. only on days when symptoms are bothersome. It aims to see if taking it less often works just as well and causes fewer side effects like problems with ejaculation.
This trial studies whether daily tadalafil (5 mg) can improve early urinary trouble and erection function after endoscopic prostate tissue removal. It may help men whose urinary symptoms continued even after prior medicine.
This trial tests whether increasing your prostate medication (tamsulosin) or switching to a different medication (silodosin) helps you urinate normally again after a sudden blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to help you avoid long-term catheter use.
This study tests whether taking tadalafil daily, either alone or with a second treatment, works better for men with erectile dysfunction who have not responded to on-demand pills. It aims to help men who have not had success with current treatments.
