What is Flomax CR?

Flomax is an alpha-blocker containing tamsulosin and is used to improve urination in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or enlarged prostate). Tamsulosin does not shrink the prostate but works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck which relieves BPH symptoms including the need to urinate frequently or urgently, weak stream or difficulty in beginning the flow of urine.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Flomax CR is typically taken once daily, 30 minutes after a meal. Try to take Flomax at the same time each day.
• Swallow Flomax CR capsules whole. Do not crush, chew or open the capsules.
• Flomax lowers blood pressure and your blood pressure may need to be checked often.
