A member asked:
Can flomax (tamsulosin) cause you to lose weight? i have been on it or 2 years several with other side effects.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Listen to your body: If one experiences a side effect while on a medication it is reasonable to suspect that the medication may in some way be contributing to the unintended effect. Tamsulosin can lower blood pressure which can cause many unpleasant symptoms including nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea. It is possible that such effects could result in weight loss.
