FLOMAX: How to useRead

?This medication is used to take care of the warning signs of a prostate gland condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlarged prostate). Flomax (Tamsulosin) is an alpha-blocker that works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder neck and prostate. Relaxing these muscles leads to relief of symptoms of BPH such as the feeling of needing to urinate frequently or urgently, weak stream, complexity in beginning the flow of urine, and the need to urinate at some stage in the middle of the night.

These pills should not be used to treat high blood pressure.

The effects of dutasteride, FLOMAX (Tamsulosin) and combination therapy on lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic enlargement: 2-year results from the CombAT study.

?

PURPOSE: We investigated whether combination therapy with dutasteride and FLOMAX (Tamsulosin) is more effective than either monotherapy alone for improving symptoms and long-term outcomes in men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms and prostatic enlargement (30 cc or greater). We report preplanned 2-year analyses.

FLOMAX? (Tamsulosin) treatment of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis.

?

The efficacy of FLOMAX (Tamsulosin) in the treatment of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis was evaluated in a randomized clinical observation of 105 male outpatients conducted for 90 days. Patients were randomly divided into five groups (n = 21 per group) according to prostatitis type IIIA or IIIB and therapy regimens FLOMAX (Tamsulosin), levofloxacin, or FLOMAX? (Tamsulosin) plus levofloxacin combination therapy). National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index scores, expressed prostatic massage test and urodynamic urethral pressure and urethral closure pressure tests were performed to evaluate clinical efficacy of the treatments.

Scores for pain, urinary symptoms and quality of life were significantly improved by days 45 and 90 after all treatments in both prostatitis categories. Improvements in symptom scores in the combined treatment group were significantly superior to those in the single treatment groups. FLOMAX (Tamsulosin) and levofloxacin are both effective in the treatment of, and may have an additive effect in, the treatment of non-bacterial prostatitis.

Effectiveness of low-dose and standard-dose FLOMAX (Tamsulosin) in the treatment of distal ureteric stones: a randomized controlled study.

?

Low-dose (0.2 mg/day) and standard-dose (0.4 mg/day) FLOMAX were studied in a randomized controlled trial of 75 out-patients with distal ureteroliths in Thailand. Group 1 (n = 25; control) received oral sodium diclofenac 50 mg twice a day for 10 days; group 2 (n = 25) received oral sodium diclofenac 50 mg twice a day for 10 days, with oral FLOMAX 0.2 mg once a day up to 28 days; and group 3 (n = 25) received oral sodium diclofenac 50 mg twice a day for 10 days, with oral FLOMAX 0.4 mg once a day up to 28 days. For groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively, the expulsion rates were 4%, 40% and 68% (significantly different for group 1 vs group 2, and for group 1 vs group 3) and mean expulsion times were 23.00, 9.30 and 10.76 days. Both doses of FLOMAX increased stone expulsion rate and decreased expulsion time in comparison with the control, and have been shown to be safe and effective in Asian patients.

FLOMAX hydrochloride is an antagonist of alpha1A adrenoceptors in the prostate.
?

FLOMAX? capsules are indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). FLOMAX capsules are not indicated for the treatment of hypertension.

FLOMAX is approved to treat male urinary symptoms due to BPH, also called an enlarged prostate. Only your doctor can tell if you have BPH, not a more serious condition like prostate cancer. Avoid driving or hazardous tasks for 12 hours after your first dose or increase in dose, as a sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, rarely resulting in fainting. If considering cataract surgery, tell your eye surgeon you?ve taken FLOMAX.

Why are generic drugs less expensive than brand name drugs?

Generic drugs often cost 30% to 50% less than brand name drugs.

The main reason generic drug companies can market their drugs at lower prices is that they don?t face the same development costs as brand-name companies. The process of research, development, marketing and promotion of the drug can cost hundreds of millions of dollars! Without the startup costs for development of the drug, generic manufacturers can afford to make and sell it more cheaply.

Are generic medications as safe and effective as brand name medications?

The term generic, when applied to foods or household products, is used to describe a less expensive, sometimes less effective or lower quality copycat version of a brand name product. However, most generic drugs, although usually less expensive, are generally as effective and of the same quality as the brand-name drug. But not always!

According to the FDA, all drugs, including brand name drugs and generic drugs, must work well and be safe. The FDA applies the same standards for all drug manufacturing facilities, and many companies manufacture both brand-name and generic drugs.

What is a brand name drug?

Every business has the right to promote its brand. After a pharmaceutical company develops a drug, that drug is granted a 20-year patent, which means that no other company can make it for the entire duration of the patent. When the drug is approved by FDA, it is given a generic (official) name and trade (proprietary or brand) name. Brand name medication can only be produced and sold by the company that holds the patent for the drug.
