Is There Any Side Effect To Abrupt Stopping Of Avodart And Tamsulosin?
My husband has not received his Avodart and Tamsulosin thru his mail order pharmacy. He is 66 years old and has BPH. He has been taking these meds for 2 years. We are going out of town for 2 weeks and he will be without these 2 meds. Is there any serious side effects to abruptly stopping the meds for 2weeks?
