Hello

* As per my clinical experience, the Flomax is widely known for its side effect profile comprising of dizziness, drowsiness and so forth.

* If the symptoms are annoying to such an extent, you can discuss the same with your doc and get alternative prescriptions of other molecule with similar efficacy and lesser side effects.

Hope I have answered your query.
