    Before taking Flomax, you should know that it may cause dizziness, especially when you first start taking it. Until you know how Flomax affects your body, you should be careful when driving or standing up and not operate heavy machinery. Make sure your doctor knows if you are allergic to sulfa drugs or any ingredients in Flomax. If you have questions about whether the side effects of Flomax outweigh the potential benefits, speak to your doctor.
