Q: does flomax cause you to urinate more, especially at night?

: Best taken at bedtime, and if successful should decrease the frequency of urination. It works as an alpha adrenergic blocker to control prostatic hypertrophy effects on bladder function. Dosage is important. Let your doctor know your concerns.
