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  BPH While the stream flow did increase, the side effects of dizziness upon standing, stuffy nose,and no ability to ejaculate are very poor trade-offs. Not recommended. I was told there are many who take this med with minimal to no side effects. The surprise side effect of no ejaculate was a disturbing surprise. M 52 7 days

 2  For less nocturnal urination Dizziness,eye strain, cloudy vision,upset stomach, burping I felt sick for the majority of the time while on the drug. Ironically, I ran out of the meds right when I was scheduled to see an ear and nose doc to find the cause of the dizziness. I even had a MRI on the neck and head..nothing was wrong but did notice I was feeling better..this was only a week after stopping the drug...When I got the new prescription and I started back up on the tamsulosin, the symptoms came right back up after only ten hours..I read this forum and I stopped taking it immediately and after about 30 hours the symptoms went away..now another day later no symptoms . No doubt all that misery was due to the tamsulosin even though my doc and the pharmacist did not think it was the cause. What a wasted year feeling like crap! Even driving was a chore..I am sleeping way better , too.. M 73 18 months

 1  BPH Intense tooth/jaw pain after about 5 months use. Also retrograde ejaculation that began immediately. The medicine definitely improved urine flow, but after about 2 months I developed some tooth sensitivity, localized upper left quadrant. Dental x-rays showed no structural problem. After 4 months that pain increased and was intense at times. For some days I was eating a lot of ibuprophen. Discontinued Flomax now for about 2 weeks. Pain has definitely lessened but not completely gone away at this point. BTW, I was taking the generic, Tamsulosin. M 55 5 months

 1  BPH Retrograde ejaculation, stuffy nose, tiredness but inability to go to sleep or stay asleep, swollen lower legs and feet, tingly feeling all over, bad taste in mouth Medicine is supposed to make you feel better. This one has made me feel worse since the first dose, and has not treated any of the symptoms of BPH that my doctor told me it would. The two worst parts are no ejaculations and the inability to sleep longer than three hours. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone. M 14 days

 1  Bph "Retrograde" orgasm... And as so many others here will tell you, timid means no ejaculation. Which means no pressure really. It goes into the bladder but it does not feel the same and oh yes the complete stuffiness congestion dizziness I thought I was going to wreck my car... It may have helped a small amount but for all the stuff you have to put up with forget it I would rather have a bullet in the head and I too was not warned of anything other than dizziness. Do not take this drug unless you're completely aware of the side effects ... They're serious and not worth it if you can avoid it. No sexual desire, esp with dry orgasm. I'm telling doc I want cialis and proscar. If he insists on giving me this, he's fired. M 36 3 days

 1  kidney stone Tooth pain, headache, TMJ sensation, insomnia, ear ache, a good fight with wife After 18 hours facial pain kicked in with stuffy nose. Pain progressed and spread to ear. No change in urine flow. Pain is not worth the medicine. Do yourself a favor and stay away our stop immediately if you start to feel bad. I have the strong narcotics and the pain did not stop. Pain subsided with hot drinks like tea and water. M 42 2 days

 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

 4  BPH You really have to give this drug some time. I saw little to no effect except for dry orgasms until I hit the 90 day mark and my dose was doubled to 2x per day. I've gone from peeing 5 times a night to twice. You can time your dosage to combat the dry orgasm thing. If you think you might have sex, hold off taking it until after you cum. If that doesnt work, try skipping a dose the day before you think you will have sex. The other thing is the orgasms. Holy God!! The time between the point of inevitability and the first spurt is longer and is more deeply pleasurable than anything I've ever experienced. M 120 days
