Flomax 0.4 mg or 0.8 mg? Dosing explained
Your doctor will typically start you at 0.4 mg and see how you respond. If, after 2–4 weeks, your symptoms are not improving enough, your doctor may increase the dose to 0.8 mg daily.
- Take Flomax at roughly the same time each day
- Only adjust your dose under medical guidance
- Taking more Flomax than prescribed won’t speed up the relief
Side Effects of Flomax (Tamsulosin)
The most frequent complaints are feeling lightheaded, a stuffy nose, or reduced semen output, but they are manageable. If the following side effects are bothering you, reach out to the prescribing doctor:
- Back pain
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Abnormal ejaculation
Some side effects of the Flomax capsule include chest pain, prolonged ejaculation, and severe dizziness. Stay in touch with our telehealth doctors to avoid any complications.
Who should not take a Flomax prescription refill?
Flomax is not for everyone. Always consult a doctor to be sure, but generally avoid Flomax capsules under the following circumstances:
- Flomax has known drug interactions with medicines of the same class, such as other alpha-blockers like Uroxatral, Cardura, Minipress, Terazosin, and Rapaflo.
- Patients with urticaria, angioedema, pruritus, skin rash, and respiratory symptoms should avoid it.
- Do not drive within a few hours of taking Flomax, as it can cause dizziness.
- Do not take the capsule if you are allergic to Tamsulosin or similar medications.
- If you have an upcoming cataract surgery, discuss Flomax with your ophthalmologist to avoid the onset of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome.

Frequently asked questions
Is Flomax over-the-counter?
No, you cannot get Flomax over the counter. It is a prescription medication in both the United States and Canada, which means you must have a doctor authorize its use. Any website or source offering Flomax without a prescription is not following federal regulations and could be illegal. You can get a quick prescription refill within 5 minutes through Your Doctors Online. Our physicians follow the telemedicine guidelines set by federal and provincial authorities.
Why does Flomax stop you from ejaculating?
Flomax works by relaxing the tight muscles around your prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Because those same muscles also help push semen out during climax, Flomax can sometimes cause little changes in ejaculation or make semen flow backward into the bladder instead of out the penis. However, you won’t experience this if you stick to your prescription.
Why is Tamsulosin not available?
Tamsulosin itself has not been withdrawn, but it is a prescription medicine, so it is not stocked on open shelves.
How long does it take for Flomax to work?
For many men, Flomax can start improving urine flow within the first few days. Clinical experience notes that BPH symptoms often get better 3–7 days after starting an alpha-blocker, but the exact time can vary depending on your health status. However, your doctor may increase your dose or recommend stopping taking Flomax if your symptoms do not improve by 4-6 weeks.
How long can I stay on the Flomax prescription?
Flomax is often a long-term treatment, potentially taken for many years. It does not cure BPH. It only relieves the symptoms for as long as you continue to take it. We usually provide refills for 3 months, and once you have run out of it, you can contact our telehealth clinic to get a renewal.
What happens if I stop taking Flomax?
If you stop Flomax (Tamsulosin) suddenly, the medication will clear out of your system in a few days. You won’t experience a withdrawal in the way you might with some other drugs. However, your BPH symptoms will likely return to how they were before. That’s why it is important to discuss it with your doctor if you need to stop taking the capsules.
Can women take Flomax to treat kidney stones?
Flomax is FDA-approved to treat BPH in men only. However, some urologists have used it off-label to pass kidney stones in women, but there is limited evidence to support it.
Does Flomax shrink the prostate?
Flomax does not shrink the prostate. It works by relaxing the muscle fibers in the prostate and bladder neck, which helps open up the urinary channel, allowing urine to flow freely. Because the drug isn’t treating the underlying growth, the prostate gland may continue to enlarge over time in men on Flomax. Proscar may be prescribed for online prostatitis treatment and to shrink the prostate.
Can I take Flomax with Viagra?
It’s important to take caution starting Flomax or refilling it when you are also on a Viagra prescription. Both Flomax and Viagra can cause vasodilation, leading to a lowering of your blood pressure, dizziness, and fainting. The two can be combined, but only on a doctor’s advice. For example, if you take Flomax in the evening, you might use Viagra earlier in the day.
Is it safe to order Tamsulosin online?
Yes, you can order Flomax online if you have a valid prescription from a licensed doctor. You can get an online prescription for Flomax through Your Doctors Online. Here is how it works:
- Create an account
- Share your symptoms of urine incontinence
- Get evaluated by the doctor
