Very aggravating!! | M | 66 | 2 days 0.4MG CAPS | 3/14/2018 | 1 | BHP | Fatigue, dry mouth, dizziness and no ejaculation after just 5 days. | My neurologist perscribed Flowmax to offset difficulty urinating due to enlarged prostate. He did not warn me about side effects. Was shocked when I could not ejaculate after only 5 days on the medication. I will stop immediately. Do not take this drug without fully understanding side effects | M | 66 | 5 days .4 1X day | 12/6/2016 | 1 | Mainly night time urination. | Nightmares, talking in sleep, sleep apnoea, sexual disfunction, increased urination at night, not wanted, felt detached from reality, dry lips and roof of mouth, totally horrific experience especially in 6 weeks gained 21lbs. in weight. Only from consultant discovered wrongly prescribed, my prostrate is normal, over active bladder is the problem. Doctors, no different to car mechanics, good and bad, overall, dangerous. For me one awful drug, wrongly prescribed. | Cannot comment but no doubt good when the numpty doctors prescribe correctly. | M | 66 | 7 weeks 20 1X day | 6/8/2014 | 1 | BPH | Abnormal ejaculation. Back pain. Muscle weakness. Increased coughing. | I've had BPH since 1976. Currently taking Lipitor and Hazaar affecting urination. Doctor recommended taking Flomax & monitor BP in 3 mos. Never had back pain or muscle weakness before taking medication. Provided assistance during arousal. No improvement in urination stream or dribbles. Stopped after 2 mos. | M | 66 | 2 months | 12/13/2004 | 1 | blocked urine flow | experienced feeling that right leg was heavy as well as numbness in right foot; lightheadedness, racing heart and irregular heart beat at times. Urgency leakage at times. | Side effects of heavy leg feeling and numbness went away after stopping the use of Flomax. Episodes of irregular or racing heart has reduced since going off Flomax for 2 weeks. Episodes of urgency leakage became non-existant. | M | 66 | 5 months 0.4 2X day | 11/20/2011 | 1 | BPH | lethargy, depression | I did not notice much of a positive effect. It made me so tired, disinterested, and sad that I stopped taking it. Negative effects cleared in 2 days. | M | 66 | 1 months 1X day | 3/8/2023 | 5 | BPH | Continued problems attaining erections, but already had that problem with BPH, so no loss there (nothing that Viagara can't deal with). | Began working within 24 hours--went from difficult urination (almost impossible during the night) to free flow by day and slow flow during the night (0-2 bathroom trips during the night, down from 3-4). No more bladder attacks if taken pretty close to 30 minutes after a meal, the only tricky part. | M | 65 | 3 years | 10/25/2007 | 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 0.4MG 1X D | 6/25/2020 | 4 | Urinary Retintion | I can have an orgasm but semen is clear looking and not milky looking. Is that normal? | Helps in voiding and 2 a day works a lot better than 1. | M | 65 | 3 months | 9/11/2004 | 3 | enlarged prostate - restricted flow | none | M | 65 | 2 months | 1/18/2003 | 3 | Urination frequency and urgency | Not so apparent for first Rx of 90 days. After second Rx I am seeing my GP for general tiredness, persistent cough, and throat discomfort. Thought problems related to persistent summer cold, but after reviewing patient comments here I am becoming concerned about Flomax regimen. My blood work and chest xray were okay, and I will have echocardiogram (because of mitral valve repair) to rule out heart problem. Was ignoring libido and ejaculate issues, but they are real. | No question but that urination issues improved, but if side effects are real as described I will likely reconsider Flomax. I do plan to change schedule to take capsule in the evening now based on comments here. | M | 65 | 180 days | 7/25/2006 | 2 | Weak urine flow | Extreme nasal congestion (but only at night), headache, retrograde ejaculation | Urine flow and ease of starting much improved after one tablet. But extreme night-time nasal congestion with feelings of suffocation, sufficient to wake me 2 -3 time each night in a half-awake panic which could only be resolved temporarily by getting up, waking up fully and clearing my nose, plus dry ejaculation made me discontinue after 5 days. I tried taking a decongestant (pseudoephedrine) overnight concurrently but with limited success. | M | 65 | 5 days 40mg 1X day | 9/16/2011 | 2 | enlarged prostate along with BCG t | increased frequency, severe sore throat and congestion, cough, weird dreams, | I have been on the generic but after reading these reviews and my own experiences the past 2 I am seriously considering stopping use. | M | 65 | 14 days .4 mg 1X day | 6/25/2012 | 2 | Weak stream | Extreme pain in teeth and jaw, right side, upper and lower. | Worked to increase flow but the teeth and jaw pain is way too severe. Have to quit taking it as of today. | M | 65 | 7 days 0.4 MG 1X day | 5/27/2016 | 1 | Enlarge prostrate | Started taking contiflow urologist said mild side affects since taking It has made me really ill. headaches, dizziness, extreme fatigue especially arms and legs finding it hard to breathe, diarrhoea, I just want to lay down just holding a cup of tea makes my arm really ache also a runny nose as though you have the flue | I contacted the urologist dept and spoke to the nurse she said stop takiking them.i then visited my own doc he said stop taking them .he said they was to help with my flow but the doc said it wasn’t that bad .i was angry to think I am going through this unnecessary grief and pain for nothing. My advice don’t take this horrible medication .if you do as soon as you get any of the side affects come off them it’s 4 days now and I don’t feel any better | M | 65 | 14 days 400xl 1X day | 2/23/2020 | 1 | Bph | Head aches diarrhoea extreme fatigue, arms and legs and neck ,back and shoulders all really ache runny nose flue like symtoms cannot seem to think all mushy appertite has gone | I have an enlarged prostrate , that’s what the urologist said .i wasn’t complaining about my pee flo but urologist prescribed contilo/tremolosin to help with the flow,he said there could be mild side effect . Since I started taking the pills they have made me feel really ill. i contacted my doctor he said stop taking them. if I knew about the extreme side effects I would not have bothered. its 3 days now that I have stopped them and I still feel really ill . i will never take this type of drug again . it feels like poison in your body. some people it might be ok .but my advise is stay clear | M | 65 | 14 days 400 1X day | 2/23/2020 | 1 | BPH | Runny Nose, dizzy, retrograde ejaculation, erectile disfunction | M | 65 | 60 days | 1/26/2008 | 1 | BPH, but I have prostatitis. | Dizziness, runny nose, inability to ejaculate, urine flow is worse than when I started the drug. | When I first started the drug I thought that it reduced the irritation I was feeling in the bladder, and I thought my flow was slightly better, but after being on the drug for more than a month my flow is much worse. My flow issue is a result of prostatitis and not BPH. | M | 65 | 0 months .4 mg 1X day | 1/28/2022 |
