Can I take Lansoprazole and Tamsulosin together?

Why this happens

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid, and tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker used to help with urinary symptoms. They are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed or cleared from the body.

What you should do

You can continue to take both medicines as prescribed by your doctor. As with any medication, if you notice any new or unusual side effects, you should mention them to your GP or pharmacist.
