Source-linked reading points
- The label uses FLOMAX for signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and states that it is not indicated for hypertension. Urinary symptoms, dizziness or the words alpha blocker do not support self-switching or combining medicines.
- The capsule should remain intact and must not be crushed, chewed or opened. The 0.4 mg figure is a labelled amount per capsule, not a website-derived rule for starting, restarting, increasing, replacing missed doses or stopping.
- Dizziness on standing, hypotension or syncope may lead to falls. Older adults, people rising at night and those using other blood-pressure-affecting medicines should have the exact pack, symptoms and complete medicine list reviewed by a clinician or pharmacist.
- Before cataract or glaucoma surgery, tell the eye-care team about current or past tamsulosin use. The label also says the benefit of stopping before surgery has not been established, so do not stop it from a web page.
