Important Safety Information
Flomax^® (tamsulosin HCl) capsules is approved to treat male urinary symptoms due to BPH, an enlarged prostate. Only your doctor can tell if you have BPH, not a more serious condition like prostate cancer. When taking FLOMAX, avoid driving or hazardous tasks until you know how FLOMAX will affect you, especially after your first dose or change in dose, as a sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, rarely resulting in fainting. Tell your doctor about all medications you take. If considering cataract surgery, tell your eye surgeon if you've taken FLOMAX. Common side effects are runny nose, dizziness, and decrease in semen.

Before taking FLOMAX capsules, please see the full Prescribing Information and Patient Information.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
