Understanding male urinary symptoms due to BPH
If you suspect you have male urinary symptoms due to BPH, you may wonder how it happened. The fact is, your body changes over the years, and changes in your prostate are most likely responsible for your symptoms. So, to find out more about male urinary symptoms is to find out more about your prostate. Learn about the prostate's role in affecting urinary health and how to talk to someone about your male urinary symptoms. Of course, there's more to know, too: Find out what BPH is — along with its symptoms.
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.
