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)

 1  BPH Symptoms got worse, weakness, dry mouth, extremely weak ejaculation, more issues emptying bladder I am going to quit taking tomorrow and call my Urologist. I have had urinary retention and an enlarged prostate with issues most of my adult life. This drug seemed to have made all of my symptoms worse. I feel drowsy and dizzy. My weak stream is MUCH weaker, I used to only get up 1 time a night to pee, now it is 5-10. My ejaculations are pitiful and used to be very strong. I used to have issues fully emptying my bladder but since I have been on this, it is even worse. I read most people had the opposite effect so not sure why I am having such issues. Also I am feeling tired and winded (in good physical shape) but can't sleep. M 34 5 days

 2  Kidney stones Pounding heart, racing pulse, stuffy nose, dizziness, lethargy. Took one per ER doctors orders. I had already passed my kidney stone and took it to help any others that might still come. Wish I would have just stayed with what I was doing. I've done drugs in the past and the high blood pressure feeling from being on Flomax I find quite disturbing. M 49 1 days
