Flomax Prescription Online

Flomax - Overview

Flomax is a medication used in the management of symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). People who might need a Flomax prescription can use Push Health to connect with an online medical provider who can prescribe Flomax medication, including Flomax 0.4 mg tablets or other Flomax dosages, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Flomax Used For?

How does Flomax work? Flomax, containing the active ingredient tamsulosin hydrochloride, belongs to a class of medications known as alpha₁ adrenoceptor antagonist medications. Flomax exerts its effects selectively on receptors in the prostate gland known as alpha₁ receptors. These adrenoceptors are involved with the tensing up and relaxation of smooth muscle in the prostate and the neck of the bladder. By blocking these receptors, Flomax helps to relax these muscles, both reducing symptoms that may occur from prostate enlargement and improving the flow of urine and urine output. Given these effects, Flomax is used to treat people with symptoms resulting from BPH. Flomax is similar to the medications alfuzosin (UroXatral), doxazosin (Cardura) and silodosin (Rapaflo).

Flomax - Dosage and Cost

Flomax prescription medication is supplied as Flomax 0.4 mg capsules. Generally, Flomax is prescribed as Flomax 0.4 mg once daily taken 30 minutes after a meal although some medical providers, depending on their judgement and the health characteristics of the patient, may titrate the Flomax dosage to Flomax 0.8 mg daily after one month. If, for whatever reason, regular use of Flomax is stopped, Flomax is often restarted at Flomax 0.4 mg daily. While generic Flomax alternatives are affordable, the branded version of Flomax is quite expensive at pharmacies in the United States. In most cases, people paying out of pocket for Flomax 0.4 mg capsules can expect to pay more than $8 per Flomax 0.4 mg capsule. It is possible that insurance will help cover some of the costs of a Flomax prescription or that one can find Flomax coupons online but there is no guarantee for that. Flomax capsules are green and orange in color and it is generally recommended that they be stored at 25° C but check the package insert for exact information.

Can I Buy Flomax Online?

Flomax is a prescription medication in the United States. As a result, one cannot get Flomax over the counter (i.e. Flomax OTC) and one cannot just buy Flomax online. Instead, the first step to getting Flomax in the United States is consulting with a licensed medical provider. People who need a Flomax capsule prescription can use Push Health to connect with a local medical provider who can prescribe generic Flomax medication, including Flomax 0.4 mg capsules, when appropriate to do so.

Flomax - Side Effects

Prior to using Flomax medication, it is important that one discusses possible side effects that can result from Flomax use with one's medical provider and pharmacist. Side effects that can result from Flomax use include nausea, headache, dizziness, low blood pressure, gastrointestinal symptoms, and fainting. Blurry vision and trouble sleeping have also been reported after Flomax use. Side effects of Flomax tablets include decreased libido. People who have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Flomax or ingredients in the medication should not use it. Flomax prescription medication and alcohol should not be used together.
