Tamsulosin Medication Description
Tamsulosin is a prescription medication used to improve urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate and reducing symptoms such as weak stream, difficulty starting urination, and frequent or urgent urination.

Tamsulosin can be used alone or in combination with other medications for prostate health.

Usage Instructions
- Take exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider
- Usually taken once daily, 30 minutes after the same meal each day
- Swallow capsules whole; do not crush, chew, or open them
- Continue taking even if symptoms improve, as stopping may cause them to return
- If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the time for your next dose
Warnings & Precautions
- May cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly—rise slowly from sitting or lying positions
- Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of low blood pressure or severe kidney or liver disease
- Possible side effects include headache, nasal congestion, abnormal ejaculation, and dizziness
- Rarely, tamsulosin may cause a condition called intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) during cataract or glaucoma surgery. Inform your eye surgeon if you are taking or have taken this medication
- Avoid sudden position changes and use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you
Tamsulosin Side Effects

Side effects may include headache, back pain, diarrhea, and dizziness. A rare side effect that requires immediate medical attention includes a painful erection lasting more than 4 hours.
