Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the α-adrenergic antagonist
tamsulosin in the treatment of adult emergency department (ED) patients with ureteral colic
secondary to lower ureteral calculus. We hypothesize that there will be no difference in
outcomes for subjects treated with and without tamsulosin.
