Urinary Health: Medications
Cholestyramine for kidney stones
05/30/07, HealthwiseCholestyramine attaches to bile in the intestine, which limits how much oxalate your intestines absorb. This reduces the amount of oxalate found in the urine and reduces the risk of forming kidney stones.
Urease inhibitors for kidney stones
05/30/07, HealthwiseUrease inhibitors dissolve crystals and struvite kidney stones and prevent the formation of new crystals in the urine.
Anticholinergics and antispasmodics for urinary incontinence in men
07/21/08, HealthwiseThese medicines calm the nerves that control bladder muscles. They may prevent uncontrollable bladder contractions that force urine out of the bladder.

Allopurinol for kidney stones
05/30/07, HealthwiseAllopurinol makes it more difficult for your body to make uric acid. This decreases the amount of uric acid in the urine, reducing the chance that a uric acid kidney stone will form.
Potassium citrate for kidney stones
05/30/07, HealthwisePotassium citrate attaches to calcium in the urine, preventing the formation of mineral crystals that can develop into kidney stones.
Orthophosphate for kidney stones
05/30/07, HealthwiseOrthophosphate reduces the amount of calcium in the urine. High levels of calcium in the urine can cause calcium kidney stones.
Potassium phosphate and sodium phosphate
02/13/04, HealthwiseIf you have kidney stones, there is a possibility that you will pass old stones after starting treatment with potassium phosphate and sodium phosphate.
Tamsulosin (oral)
07/01/08, HealthwiseBefore taking tamsulosin, tell your doctor if you are allergic to sulfa drugs. You may also be allergic to tamsulosin.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) - Medications
03/24/08, HealthwiseMedicines are sometimes used to help relieve bothersome, moderate to severe urination problems caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). If you stop using medicine, the symptoms will usually return.
Alpha-blockers for benign prostatic hyperplasia
03/24/08, HealthwiseAlpha-blockers help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by relaxing smooth muscle tissue found in the prostate and the bladder neck. This allows urine to flow out of the bladder more easily.
