PURLs: Tamsulosin for patients with ureteral stones?

Pamela Hughes1, Corey Lyon2.   

Abstract

A 54-year-old man presents to the emergency department with acute onset left flank pain that radiates to the groin. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen/pelvis without contrast reveals a 7-mm distal ureteral stone. He is deemed appropriate for outpatient management. In addition to pain medications, should you prescribe tamsulosin?
