Research Notes on Flomax Dosage
The initial dosage of Flomax for treating enlarged prostate is 0.4 mg taken once each day. If symptoms have not improved after a period of two to four weeks, the Flomax dosage may be increased to 0.8 mg daily. It is important to maintain a routine dosing schedule with this medication, as failing to take this medication for several days will require the dosage to be restarted at 0.4 mg.1
Fast Facts:
- Flomax is commonly recommended to be taken at bedtime to reduce the likelihood of dizziness for the initial dose, and then 30 minutes after one meal daily thereafter.2
- In some cases, the full benefit of Flomax therapy is not seen for about eight weeks.2
- Flomax is a brand name of the generic medication tamsulosin.2
