Excellent info delivered in understandable terms. Just wish I'd watched this two years ago when I started on Tamsulosin as it would have answered all the questions I had. Thanks!
thank you for the info other known side-effect is "retrograde ejaculation." The medication doesn't affect the prostate size (enlargement) but help treat it's symptoms
I'm very thankful for this video...my Urologist just prescribed tamsulosin for me, and i occasionally use the Diclofenac cream on my knees. So i need to run that info to the Dr. I forgot to list it with my ongoing meds because i my use the cream once a month. Thanks again.
I was prescribed it when suffering from kidney stones and difficulty in urination, my Prostate is shrunken not enlarged, my GP had trouble finding it during a rectal examination, thankfully she was gentle, it has stopped working, it was failing from before getting the prescription.
I couldn’t stand it. I found Saw Palmetto Plus. It works just as well as Flowmax without the side effects. Before that, I had a low dose of a beta blocker that also worked well, but my doctor said that was obsolete.
I am using Tamsulosin tab. since for the last three years. Got much relief. But was facing dizziness, vertigo and once a fall in the early morning. Did it result due to use of Tamsulosin?
@@CampainAlaska-ep4sd Yes, I found this out after I had a high PSA reading. My urologist was concerned and I had to make a make a return visit and redo my test. If he had informed me of this it could have been prevented. No sex or masturbating a couple days before your test. My numbers returned to normal. Patients should be told this.
Thanks, very well put together and easy to follow/understand. Interested to find Priapism as a side effect; I experienced exactly the opposite effect and had to stop taking it after the first month’s course. Filled in a survey for the drug manufacturers, and it IS a known side effect- though apparently in a very low number of cases…..?
Doc upped me to 2 caps a day with no directions on how to take. Tried 2 in the morning with no change in symptoms. Then tried one morning and one evening for very slightly better first pee in the morning but not much. Bad side effect: no more erections so will probably go back to 1/day.
Sometimes these types of drugs stay in your system up to 200 days it's like weed that can stay in your system between 90 to 200 days some drugs are gone within 3 months or less always ask your doctor or drugs dispenser at the store they will have a library of chemicals books on pills Love mom

There is no interaction between Flomax and diclofenac. Prescribed them many times to my patients. Checked again with med checker just to be sure!
@mikekubacki782 Okay, will do. I appreciate you !
Been taking this for around 20 years
Very ,very informative thanks
This med helps with passing kidney stones
I was prescribed it when suffering from kidney stones and difficulty in urination, my Prostate is shrunken not enlarged, my GP had trouble finding it during a rectal examination, thankfully she was gentle, it has stopped working, it was failing from before getting the prescription.
I've been on it for a least 5 years , but my dosage changed a few years ago from one capsule to two a day ,one in the morning and one at night .

Thanks for video

How long do you have to stop taking the medication before having a PSA test, if it suppresses the true value reading of PSA?
I was told there is no impact to PSA number. What no one told me for years was that your number will go up within 24-36 hours after ejaculation!

Love from Pakistan ❤
Very well presented. Thanks for your efforts. 😊
My pleasure
Dr put me on 2 caps daily, not 1. Author credentials? Erections, but no ejaculation.
I had the exact same problem. Can’t believe this wasn’t mentioned
Very helpful, thanks
How long does tamsulosin stay in the body after stopping the drug.
Sometimes these types of drugs stay in your system up to 200 days it's like weed that can stay in your system between 90 to 200 days some drugs are gone within 3 months or less always ask your doctor or drugs dispenser at the store they will have a library of chemicals books on pills

Does club soda count as a fizzy drink?
Of course, any carbonised drinks a "fizzy".
@@clausbader9537 Thank you.
Thanks so much
Why no cataract surgery?
Flomax can cause floppy iris syndrome which makes cataract surgery more difficult. Let your surgeon know you are taking the drug.
Thank u
This drug gave me nasal congestion and resulted in frequent sinus infections. Once I quit, things improved.
I stopped taking this drug because it caused dizziness and some heart murmur. Told my doctor "No way".
I've gotten the dizziness
I've had dizziness like every 7 to 10 days
I was on it for a few weeks but it got to hurting my bladder so i got off it.
Yeah, and it took three days before I could breathe again
Also you should not take this with Paxlovid (used when you have covid)
DO NOT TAKE TAMSULOSIN if you are having surgery for cataracts removal!.
Another reason to consider a Urolift procedure
My meds had side effects. That would be an option. I wonder if that will help my ED?
Tamsulosin made my symptoms worse!
Made me dizzy. Stopped taking it, rather have weak stream.
the new capsul is impossible to swallow
I have tried it with milk, and water dont work either, as soon as you put in your
mouth it just sticks there
👍❤️
