Flomax for women

I am a 33yr old woman with MS - My urologist recently put me on Flomax due to not being able to empty my bladder. However, I also take Baclofen - which helps a lot with emptying my bladder. I'm now working with a physical therapist to strengthen pelvic muscles to improve urinary function. I do not like Flomax. I've had a lot of insomnia, dizziness when changing positions (sudden drop in pressures) and because I'm hoping to have a child - will be getting off them med soon. Flomax is NOT approved by the FDA for women, however some studies have shown that it can improve the flow of urine from the bladder to urethra. That's why your doctor prescribed it for you. Check into baclofen - if that might be an option for you. Good Luck

I am a 68 year old female with kidney stones. The urologist gave me Flomax to help the stones pass but I am hesitant about taking it because it specifically states that Flomax is NOT to be taken by females. Did you take it and if so what was your reaction? Thanks I need feedback before trying this because I don't want to create additional problems for myself. Joyce jychayes@yahoo.com
