Flomax 0.4 mg Capsule

Flomax 0.4 mg Capsule contains tamsulosin hydrochloride, an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used to treat the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

It works by relaxing the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck, which can help improve urine flow and reduce difficulties associated with an enlarged prostate.

Uses

Flomax is used for the treatment of symptoms associated with:

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak urine flow
• Frequent urination
• Urinary urgency
• Incomplete bladder emptying

How It Works

Tamsulosin selectively blocks certain alpha-1 receptors in the prostate and bladder neck. This relaxes the smooth muscle and can improve urine flow and reduce BPH-related urinary symptoms.

Common Side Effects

Possible side effects include:

• Dizziness
• Abnormal ejaculation
• Headache
• Nasal congestion
• Weakness
• Back pain

Important Safety Information

Take Flomax only as directed by your healthcare professional.

Tamsulosin may cause dizziness or a drop in blood pressure, particularly when standing up. Use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position.

Tell your healthcare professional if you have low blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, or are taking medicines for erectile dysfunction or blood pressure.

Patients with cataracts or glaucoma should inform their eye surgeon that they are taking or have previously taken tamsulosin before undergoing eye surgery.

Seek medical attention if you experience severe dizziness, fainting, or an allergic reaction.
