FLOMAX  (TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE):  Tamsulosin is used by men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the bladder. This helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate often or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tamsulosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha blockers. Do not use this medication to treat high blood pressure.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-04-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  Enlarged Prostate I have only taken this medication for one day and will not take it again. Only slept two hours and woke with really bad nasal congestion. I suppose if I took it longer my body may adjust but it also may not. M 73 1 days

 3  Kidney stones Swelling of feet and lower legs. It worked well enough to help me pass 2 kidney stones and avoid surgery. It made it easier to go, and I went a lot. My feet and lower legs swelled but went back to normal within days after stopping. I would probably take it again if I get another stone. F 62 7 days

 1  Prostrate Dizziness. Lethargy. Nausea. Not sure about this drug. It does increase urine flow but the side-effects are getting intolerable. I thought maybe they would go away if I just kept taking it but that appears to be unlikely. M 49 45 days

 1  BPH with urine retention Flomax works by relaxing the pelvic floor muscles which makes urination easier. At first it worked almost like Viagra due to the increase in blood flow. However, as time passed, severe nasal congestion, back pain, neck, pain, face, pain, tooth, pain, hand pain, along with foot, pain and muscle spasms and muscle aches throughout the whole body. Also severe disorientation along with dizziness and weakness in large muscle groups. Insomnia, along with anxiety. Terrible drug it does make it easier to urinate but the side effects outweigh the medication M 64 90 days

 1  As a precaution- knee replacement Face blew up, throat closed. Went to urgent care and got steroid shot & script. Back pain constantly. Tiredness. Like an anaphylactic reaction. After, skin just broke. Much care to face. A real horror show. Had shades of weird lockjaw too. I play BBall 3 days a week and PBall 6 days/week. Pretty healthy old guy. Thought my back hurt from sports. Nope! Went away after ceasing taking this poison. Use Kai Kit pills (Chinese herb mixture). Far superior and safe. Gonna take a while to chase out of my system. Approaching normalcy. Finally getting back to looking like me instead of the elephant man. Played both basketball & Pickleball yesterday. First day back. I figure the cardio will accelerate healing. Always does. Had sex today wife my wife and all is well in that Dept. Gonna try to convince her to go for it again under the premise of "medical reasons", but I do't think she'll buy that story. M 68

 1  BPH I had felt extremely tired since I started flomax. I thought something was really wrong with me. Painful ejaculations. It did significantly increase urine flow. After being off flowmax for several days, I started feeling much better. I'll be going to a urologist soon. Hopefully there's a better fix. M 60 3 weeks
