If you forget to take your Flomax-D Tablet , take it immediately when you remember. But if your next dose is near, skip the missed one and continue your usual schedule. Never double up on doses; this increases the risk of side effects.

Flomax-D Tablet has been widely used and considered safe for long-term treatment of enlarged prostate.
