How often it causes this×0.7Dizziness / vertigo is common with Tamsulosin.

Other reasons×1.25Dimenhydrinate was charted for dizziness / vertigo.

Published evidence×1.2Matches a documented cascade backed by expert consensus (ThinkCascades).

Alpha-1 blocker → dizziness → vestibular sedative

Evidence: expert consensus

Real-world signal: adjusted sequence ratio 1.63 (95% CI 1.46–1.81), found in 3% of Ireland, 533,464 adults aged 65+.

Question for the pharmacist: Could the dizziness be from the alpha blocker (often on standing)? Vestibular sedatives are strongly anticholinergic and add fall risk.
