If you have an enlarged prostate due to BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia),
managing your urinary symptoms can be frustrating. Help relieve BPH symptoms — talk to your doctor about brand name FLOMAX.

Indication

FLOMAX is a prescription medication approved to treat male urinary symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate.

Important Safety Information

BPH can occur with other more serious conditions, including prostate cancer. Therefore, ask your doctor about screening for prostate cancer prior to treatment with FLOMAX capsules and at regular intervals afterwards.

Before taking FLOMAX capsules, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including:

• any kidney or liver problems.
• any history of low blood pressure.
• any allergies to sulfa or any other medicines.
• if you are planning to have cataract or glaucoma surgery.

Some of your other medicines may affect the way FLOMAX capsules work. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including:

• any prescription medicines, including blood pressure medicines.
• any non-prescription medicines, including vitamins and herbal supplements.

Possible side effects of FLOMAX may include:

• A sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing, especially after the first dose or when changing doses. Symptoms may include: fainting, dizziness, lightheadedness. If the symptoms are severe or do not improve, call your doctor. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or other dangerous activities, until you know how FLOMAX affects you.
• Allergic reactions may include: rash, itching, hives. Rare and more serious allergic reactions may also occur. Get medical help right away if you have any of the following reactions: swelling of face, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing; blistering of the skin.
• FLOMAX capsules can cause a painful erection (priapism), which cannot be relieved by having sex. If this happens, get medical help right away. If priapism is not treated, you may not be able to get an erection in the future.
• During cataract or glaucoma surgery, a condition called intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) can happen if you take or have taken FLOMAX capsules. If you need to have cataract or glaucoma surgery, be sure to tell your surgeon if you take or have taken FLOMAX capsules.
• FLOMAX capsules may cause altered liver function tests. If you experience any symptoms of liver injury such as fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine, or itching, be sure to inform your doctor.

Common side effects of FLOMAX capsules may include: runny nose, dizziness, decreased semen.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
