We're pleased that you and your doctor have made the decision to treat your male urinary symptoms due to BPH with FLOMAX. As you may know, it is the #1 branded prescription medication for BPH—and has been used by millions of men since 1998.1 In fact, FLOMAX is prescribed more than any other medication for BPH.1
We hope it has helped you see improvement in your male urinary symptoms. In a clinical study, FLOMAX was shown to significantly improve quality of life during the first year of treatment, and the improvement was maintained for up to 6 years.2

Important Safety Information
FLOMAX is approved to treat male urinary symptoms due to BPH. Only your doctor can tell if your symptoms are due to BPH and not another condition such as
prostate cancer. Common side effects of FLOMAX are runny nose, dizziness and decrease in semen.
A sudden decrease in blood pressure may occur upon standing, rarely resulting in fainting. So
when starting FLOMAX, avoid situations where injury could result.
Before taking FLOMAX capsules, please see the Patient Information and full Prescribing Information.
