Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Flomax MR is a modified-release (MR) medication used primarily to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate. Symptoms include frequent urination, painful urination, weak urine stream, incontinence, and loss of urine control.
Flomax MR belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha-1 adrenergic blockers. These drugs work by relaxing the muscles in bladder and prostate, which improves urine flow and lessens the symptoms of BPH like difficulty starting urination, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently.

Flomax MR should be used with caution in patients with a history of low blood pressure or those prone to orthostatic hypotension, a condition where blood pressure drops significantly upon standing.
This medication can cause dizziness and fainting, particularly when first starting treatment or after a dose increase. Patients should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until they know how Flomax MR affects them.
