Brief Answer:
Flomax: Start with 0.4mg daily!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this. It sounds like benign prostate hyperplasia. Tamsulosin(Flomax) is a good drug. Start with 0.4mg daily and increase accordingly to achieve good control. However, this is only available on prescription and you will need to get a script from your prescribing doctor.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
