Important Safety Information
FLOMAX is approved to treat male urinary symptoms due to BPH, also called 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 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.
