- As men age, the prostate enlarges which creates difficulty urinating. Although the prostate itself does not shrink with Flomax, the smooth muscle component of the gland relaxes. This effect on the involuntary muscle allows easier passage or urine with less hesitation and dribbling. Benefits appear extraordinarily rapidly. Also know as tamsulosin, the drug improves the symptoms of BPH rather than curing the condition. Lightheadedness frequently occurs on arising from a seated position. A recent evaluation of 500,000 men unexpectedly revealed those taking tamsulosin might face an increased risk of dementia. Studies to confirm or refute this possible association must be undertaken.
Thank you for this thorough description of the drug. My doctor just prescribed this after talking to me for 30 seconds. I asked if there are side effects and he said “not really”. After watching this, no thanks. I’ll deal with peeing a few more times a day.
Thank you Doctor. Your knowledge is exactly what I needed to hear this evening.
Thank you so very much for the greatly needed information.
I was given Flomax to help me pass bladder stones. Pissed blood and had urine running down my legs for months. Of all the many videos and articles I've seen on the drug this one is the best.
Great explanation! Thanks so much.
Food beverage major importance. Been taking tamulosin 6 years. One pill per day. Have not increased dosage. Stopped all sugar and very little carbohydrates. Sometimes combination with Prostagutt. Recommended by my urologist.
So glad the drug was invented.. keeping me away from Turp. Urolift. etc.. BTW.. 65 yrs. Run hills and train muay thai..

Thanks, Dr. Landow. I appreciate your help and expertise.
Thanks Doc that was great . I now understand it .
I take Tamsulosin, thank you for the education on the drug.
great presentation. thank you
Just started taking flomax a week ago but I never received any information on the drug......(I was just told to take it) This video answered all of my questions! 👍😊
Did it work for you? What were the benefits?
A great explaining of this med. I plan on discontinuing in near futher after I talk with my new cardiologist. THANX for your input. PS I am 85 not old, just lasting longer.🥴
Great information thank you very much
Oh my, good sir, doctor. You are a maven. What a wonderful mind you have.
Good Stuff.. Thanks for the presentation and analysis
I've been on Tamulsin for 5 years. Just recently adding Prostagutt with the Tamulsin . Great results..
I've been on tasmolusen for one year now, does it loose it's effectiveness over time?
Great video, which will help a lot of men. Thank you.
I’m 58. Just got my first rx. I don’t smoke, drink, or take any other drugs. I’m fit and don’t eat junk. My relief started the very first day. Such relief to finally have better flow, and feeling empty again. The down side is no ejaculate. :( Still feel satisfied though. (Less messy) 😂 Nausea and dizzy spells and at times out of breath when I get up. If it turns out through peer review that this drug does indeed cause dementia. I’ll stop. But then again we all know drug companies are in it for the money. So we shall see.
Dementia is not due to drugs, but due to aging and other associated diseases. If one read and write rather than aimlessly spending the senior citizen life, then one can have more dementia. If you leave Flomax, prostatic bladder retention can invite infection and kidney damage
I had the exact same experience.
Started taking it a few weeks ago, all this week I’ve had heart palpitations and increased heart rate. Stopped taking it yesterday. Hoping they subside soon
Excellent review of a family of drugs often used for BPH. Side effects are well described, and cialis as an alternative is not mentioned. Nice presentation.
Really? A Ed drug interesting. I know Viagra was ment as A beta blocker.
And what I've also heard about the flomax it also stops urinary tract infections very quickly and besides that it knocks it down by about 50 to 75%. That's what I believe! But the whole point of the matter is although I've never taken the stuff but now I'm going to have to take the stuff anyway because of my urinary tract infection and because my bladder is starting to basically act a little funny is the way things work hopefully this will cause my urine flow to basically empty out basically it won't take long for all of the urine to basically flow out of your bladder because when I had my examination for that they said that my bladder was basically a little bit full of urine and that's why it didn't want to come out so hopefully with this drug it'll basically fix the problem and what this guy's actually saying is very true what this does is it causes a lot of things that you wouldn't know about but in one sense there is a little side effect it will cause a heart palpitation for people who have a bad heart and that's something that we also need to start looking at too but with me though although I've never taken flomax I'll be sure to take it once a day and make sure that this can be stopped within at least two to three weeks that way I don't have to worry about this any further than that!
Thank,you DR KEN I WISH I HADE DR LIKE So keep Doing Your professional dues and God will bless you so stay prayed up and stay motivated
Age 53 and I will urinate but it is not obvious there is more urine. I leave and there is dribbling afterwards. It is not all the time. There are some things to do before medication, which I haven't taken yet. I believe the problem happens when I tend to drink more (tea or water). If I can use non-medical intervention and rarely have dribbling, I will do so. There are some things like pushing underneath, but the main thing is to wait at the toilet long enough, I think. I get rushed. This might help some of you guys. Good luck.
AWESOME ,, YOU DA MAN!!
Docta Landow will make you all better!
Thank u
He is a little dramatic-in general Flomax is quite well tolerated and certainly effective -some of the studies he mentions have not been peer reviewed-on the other hand he gives a good review and anybody who does not tolerate Flomax should certainly consult with an MD who knows the drug ( not all Urologists actually do)
I would not go to a Urologist that treats males that does not know this drug ,it is as common as salt to a chef.
😊very good information
I take two 0.4 caps. a day, and have not really noticed any side affects, but I guess that not everyone responds the same.
Thanks for the information sir that's a matter of fact my doctor just prescribed me flowmax on April 1st and I can tell you what once I start taking that once a day I won't have to worry about that because basically that's what the whole thing is about I think the reason is that's one of the reason why we have prostate cancer and that's exactly what's going on right now that's why my grandfather on my mother's side had prostate cancer and basically killed him. However, with flomax basically it'll do just more than just relieve the prostate it'll basically comfort you if urethra and basically do exactly what it's meant to do stop the infection before it gets worse I basically that's one of the causes of shall we say urinary tract infection when your bladder starts getting a little bit full of urine and it doesn't want to come out!
Thank you so much
I take Adderall and it would restrict the flow of urinating and it stopped when I started to take this medication. But wow the side affects are horrible for the first week or two. It also stopped the pain I had in my groin/lower abdomen area. I tried taking it at night so I wouldn’t feel the discomfort of the side effects but it would keep me up all night long. It really messes with my sleep schedule. Fortunately I’m retired from the Feds so I was able to deal with the excessive side effects. I’m gonna try to take it when I get up in the morning to see how it feels. I hate getting old lol.
How to reduce daily intake of Flomax? I read that just quitting is not suggested but it didn't give any step by step instructions on reducing/quitting. Why? Flomax for life?
I have been on Tamsulosin for 3 months now and following an appointment with a Consultant i am on these indefinitely. At first you get dizzy but that settles. It works really well in going to the loo now. I do get Diarhrea daily but not sure it's the capsules. The capsules definitely allow you to pee easily so that's great for me.
Try a probiotic for stool issues, I use Okinawa Flat Belly Tonic. It worked for my 76 yo mother, so she gave me a canister... It works for me too, no more diaharea. Put a scoop in a glass of water once a day, tastes like cherries. I do not sell the stuff, it is all over the internet to purchase. As far as the Tamsolsoin, I am finally sleeping, no more having to get up and urinate every hour or two.
Thanks for your help
My urologist didn't mention one single side effect to me. I'm not taking this drug now, Screw that. Thanks, Doc!
I've had to take 2 per day at night, but Flowmax caused severe heart palpitations and dizziness. I cut back to 1 pill and have trouble initiating my stream. If also constipated peeing is very difficult. Blood pressure drops, especially diastolic, were significant. Cutting dose by half removed heart symptoms.
Pathetic.
YOU SHOULD NEVER TAKE 2 PILLS PER DAY...HOW THE HELL YOU TOOK 2 TABLETS...YOU SHOULD ONLY TAKE 1 PILL PER DAY...!!
These BPH drugs seem to be so ineffective or cause too many side effects that’s why you have a new more invasive procedure popping up every other month like PAE, rezu or uroflow etc . I wish the field would come up with something more safer and more effective. The field seems to be a mess still relying on antiquated psa tests and painful biopsies. Then you have so many treatments that there is no simple choice for the patient and no gold standard.

THANK YOU WESTFIELD!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! So true!!! Everything you said!!!! And so many urologists who don’t know shit!!!! They put there finger up your ass to feel your prostate with a glove on and through the Rectal wall to see the size and shape of your prostate!!!!! How stupid!!!! And this is modern 21st. Century medicine!!!! What assholes!!!!!! So smart and so stupid at the same time!!!! Human nature never ceases to amaze me!!!! I was misdiagnosed with overactive bladder for about eight years!! Because finger up my ass didnot show my prostate real size!!!
how effective are the drugs that target the size of the prostate gland?
This also lowers blood pressure.
Just started taking two a day(per doctor) for the last 2 weeks. I can't stand the headache symptom. Going back to one a day. My doctor never told me of the draw backs of this drug.
Does flowmax change bladder function after you stop flowmax does muscles return to normal state
Excellent exposition! Thank you for this very helpful information. Would love to know cautions or contraindications for stopping the medication?
Over here in Asia. 30 dollars per month
How to fix the ejaculation problem?
A low carb/keto diet...dramatic reduction in sugars...can shrink the prostate in a few months. Keto solves a lot of problems.
Can you please provide resources that substantiate your claim? Not, mind you, that I disagree; I just would like to see the data.
Something tells me that you are right.
I’m 35 and just started flomax for enlarged prostate and high bladder neck. I hope it works
Has it worked for you? Did you have frequent urination?
first taking it had some side effects but it really helps me now.
Man I take two Flomax pill a day is that too much
Been diagnosed with bph, I'm only 38, was on finastride but couldn't deal with the side effects like depression, my urologist said I have good flow and I'm empyting my bladder so they think I have overactive bladder. I use ciallis and flomax which helps but I still get the constant urge to pee
Have you found anything that’s given you relief yet?
I noticed my memory has gotten really bad since taking this drug and I'm 52 .
For athletes, flomax reduces power output as well.
Kills testosterone too from what I am told
They put me on this because I had a kidney stone operation and developed chronic pelvic pain syndrome prostatitis. Been on it 6 months and I'm getting heart palpitations, no sperm, headaches, blurry vision, BACKACHE! Teeth bleeding, Dizzy feeling. Can I just stop this drug because I'm scared I might have problems urinating again.
JACK_KNIFE-1 what do your heart palpitations feel like? Please describe!
Tamsulosin causes me to have crippling GERD because it opens the sphincter at the Gastrooesophagus junction, it allows reflux and crippling pain. So Pee or GERD I have the choice. I have had endoscopy and the urologust recommends Rezum but the hospitals are closed for all other problems other than Covid so I am stuck there between a rock and a hard place.
I’m slowly weening off the catheter, I’m taking niacin, and a pinch of salt before I urinate
This man takes their money 💰
i took this medication for 3 weeks to find out that the dry cough I ve been having is a side effect of taking this medication and it is making my life miserable I stopped it
Did it cause you anymore problems after quitong?
I spoke to my urologist about my concerns of some memory problems, and he dismissed them. I'll speak to him again about it- that is if I remember to. I quit generic Benadryl over that same problem hoping that was the answer. I think this is of real concern as it appears to be almost 1 in 5 of us taking this drug.
Benadryl contains an artificial sweetener that also will irritate and enlarge the prostate. Any type of cough drops or cough medicine that contain Xylitol or Sorbitol will cause the prostate to enlarge which is why I will stay away from all cough medicines and cough drops that use these types of artificial sweeteners. Not sure why the companies have to use these artificial sweeteners when they can just use normal sugar as a sweetener.
How’re you now?
Please can you tell me why the advice is to take it 30 mins after food? I read something about it being absorbed better without food, because food inhibits the absorption. Consequently, would you not get better absorption and thereby better results by taking it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach 30 mins before breakfast?
That is my philosophy too, I think that it is just a precaution though.
Why is it consumption of bladder irritants causes retention or near-retention? My diet is so restricted I am tempted to just go with catheters. Double dose causes too much dizziness.
Have you tried taking advil
"We Don't know" as regards the Unversity study on Flomax use as a causitive of dementia ,I would imagine a study of 500.000.00 men in that same age group not on Flomax would have even the same or perhaps a higher percentage of dementia ,I am curious of five hundred thousand women say aged 55 to 80 studied for dementia might also be higher then 17% Dx.
In many of these studies asking about the participants life style are not of interest to figure another possible cause from ONE drug causing a disase.
I do fault many physicians for not explaining side effects to a patient and that of patients that do not read the medicine's included literature. ..also do ask questions to your Dr.
I was taking Flow max after about a year I couldn’t hardly get up and walk and was shaking like l couldn’t move once I quit the flow max things come back around.
Yeah I had retrograde ejaculation as a side effect of flomax..not fun in bed when she wants a big load...I tried cialis approx 5-10 mg and this seems to help the urine stream just as well as flomax...
I think that amphetamine drugs can cause prostate issues that lead on to more serious issues, such as cancer.
*Using Flowmax. Isn't work the $12 I pay for it*
I remember when I was picking coffee beans in Quatemala, I was so dehydrated my pis$ came out like snot.
Thanks for your care sir so what is the salve drug to use for kidney stone

My eye doctor could tell that I was taking Flowmax just by looking into my eyes. My eyes have been getting worse since I started taking Flowmax.
It actually put a hole in my Dad's eye that had to be stitched up. I now have worse eye sight, eye irritation & dry eyes. I stopped taking it. I'd rather get up 5 times a night to pee
But what if you can only pee 10 drops at a time, it gets painful and scary too and does cause damage to the bladder. But, if you don't need them, then (like you say) you don't need them.
Cute
I tried it and didn’t like it. Ruins your sex life. At least for me.
If you self Cath., don't take this.
The only problem is that it does not work. I took it for six months. I am up peeing eight times in the night. I going to have to work out how I can have the green light laser which I have wanted all along.
Look into steam I'm going to do it I think
I had the green light laser surgery six year ago. It worked well for four years. Now I have similar problems, but not as bad as before. P.S. I am 74 years old. Good Luck.
@@stevebrooks9577 what is green light laser?
Flomax may cause a more aggressive prostate cancer!
And Flomax may cause an aggressive prostate cancer!
Stop with eating beef!
I took my second dose last night and it gave me the worst headache I have ever had. My eyes felt like they were enlarging and going to explode. Then the pain moved into my sinuses and I could not breathe through my nose for about two hours. And I was dizzy. I won't be taking this med again.
