CRUZ GUERRA, Nicolás Alberto y PERALES CESPEDES, María Pilar. Alteración cognitiva y conductual como reaccion adversa no descrita a tamsulosina. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2005, vol.58, n.1, pp.69-71. ISSN 0004-0614.
OBJECTIVES: To report one case of adverse reaction to tamsulosin. METHODS: We describe the case of an 80-year-old patient who was started on alpha blocker treatment after acute urinary retention with the aim to perform a voiding test. RESULTS: The patient presented self-limited episodes of disorientation in time and space and abnormal behaviour in coincidence with the first three administrations of the drug. Treatment was stopped. RESULTS: We report one case of an adverse reaction to tamsulosin not previously described. We make a reference to the drug vigilance mechanisms. We point out the importance of coordination between health-care levels.
