Rapaflo vs Flomax
- Both Rapaflo (silodosin) and Flomax (tamsulosin) are alpha-blockers, which means they act on the same receptors in our bodies. However, this does not mean that they can be interchanged.
- Rapaflo (silodosin) may work better for certain people, while Flomax may work better for others.
- They also differ in terms of the adverse effects that each individual may encounter.
