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)

 5  Enlarged prostate Side effects are brutal. Forget about orgasm. Dizzy if I get up too fast. Some blurred vision, sore muscles. I had a bad case of urine retention. I would wake up in am needing to pee, but couldn't. Sometimes it would be a couple hours before I could finally go an ounce or two. As the day progressed I would pee more. After a couple days on this med I was peeing fine and now after the end of my 90 day regiment I'm back to normal. That's why I still rate it a 5. It did it's job! Yes, side effects were tough, but bearable. M 65 3 months

 5  Enlarged Prostate I really don't think I have any side effects. I could not urinate for almost 2 weeks before going to the emergency ward. With the catheter they relieved me of over 3 liters and put me on Flowmax twice a day for 2 months. Now once a day for the rest of my life. I am 64 years old and assuming they help me urinate. They work for me anyway. M 64 3 months

 5  BPH Better lasting erections For the past 5 years I have been taking 20 Mg Cialis once a week. For the past year, although I get erections normally, about 90% of the time I lose the erection during intercourse. With FLOMAX combined with Cialis, I can hold a strong erection during intercourse until ejaculation. My Dr. switched me to 5Mg Cialis to be taken daily with FLOMAX 0.4Mg. Now I can achieve and maintain erections whenever I want. Also, since the Cialis is prescribed for BPH rather than for ED, my insurance pays 100% M 76 4 weeks

 5  Prescribe for BPH Went to site to hear about patients' side effects Sometimes "congestive heart failure" or "CHF" can cause nocturia or increased "peeing" at night, by increased fluid shifting into the internal organs - lungs and kidneys. Think of your body like a sponge. When the sponge is flat in a pan of water the water absorbs throughout the sponge. When a sponge is hung up with a clothes pin the water drips out of the sponge by the force of gravity. If you have any degree of CHF (congestive heart failure), excess fluid pools in the most dependent (lowest)part of your body because the pump (heart)is less efficient. If your legs are down during the day you can get fluid accumulation there - even some swelling or "edema." When you lie flat at night the fluid moves out of the dependent (low) areas and into your kidneys and lungs causing you to "pee" more and some people get short of breath if flat due to fluid moving into the very sponge like lungs. Anyone who has these constellation of symptoms should have their heart checked (there is a blood test for CHF). A person can have both CHF and BPH or kidney stones. F 56

 5  Urine Retension & Distended Bladder Retrograde Ejaculations -- sometimes totally DRY, but sometimes a little flow and dribble, a little dizziness and fatigue the first couple of days but it goes away. Nothing else! I want to encourage you guys. This is good drug for someone who is having trouble emptying his bladder and reduced flow. In fact it is great! Immediate relief with a flow like a teenager and complete emptying of the bladder. YES!!! My prostrate is healthy so my problem is the aging urethra narrowing through the healthy prostrate. It was Flowmax or surgery to open up the urethra through the prostrate. Get this --- even though ejaculations can be dry or limited, I am enjoying the most amazing orgasms!!! Increased pleasure is what I have had with my wife -- prolonged orgasms guys. I am staying on the stuff. Advice if you are taking 1 pill daily -- the best sex is after 16 hours from taking one and up until pill time again. (Note - Laboratory may or may not make a difference. I am getting mine under the brand Secotex Ocas from Boehringer Ingelheim out of Germany. It is the same drug as Flowmax - Tamsulosina 0.4 mg per pill.) M 51 20 days
0.4 mg 1X day

 5  ,BPH urinary flow, bladder stone NONE I was on Flomax 3 yrs ago, but had a gradual deterioriation of urinary function(emergency urination, hesitation, dribbling) due to a real large bladder stone. Went back on Flomax 7 days ago and symptoms immeadiatly improved. I am very athletic and gay (very sexually active) and my sexual functions, muscle strength, etc actually improved. I have had no problems with dry ejaculations which I had the first time, I dont like taking any meds but I will stay with Flomax until the bladder stone is treated M 62 7 days

 5  Enlarged prostate retrograde ejaculation I have now been on Flomax for 60 days. Also taking Avodart. It has changed my life. What few side effects I had at the beginning are gone, except the ejaculation part, but that's on and off. I too have been taking my doses at night. It really is the way to go. It's sure is great to sleep through the night and not have to go every ten minutes during the day. My advice is not to scared by all these negative posts. The benefits greatly outweigh the few side effects there may be if any. M 52 60 days
