Tamsulosin is effective in treating the discomfort associated with an enlarged prostate. It does not affect the prostate's size. Tamsulosin should be taken with food. After taking Tamsulosin, you should start to feel better within a few days. In most cases, the full effect takes place within two weeks. If you have a history of kidney or liver difficulties, it is important to discuss it with your doctor. You should inform your eye specialist that you're using Tamsulosin if you plan to have surgery for glaucoma or cataracts. Tamsulosin may cause dizziness and tiredness. Do not operate a motor vehicle or engage in any activity requiring mental concentration until you have evaluated how the medication will affect you.
