Can i take flomax twice a day for kidney stones?

My doctor prescribed Flomax for my kidney stones and advised me to take it once a day. I've heard some people take it twice daily for faster relief. Is it safe to take Flomax twice a day?

Flomax is typically prescribed once a day, and doubling the dose without consulting your doctor can cause your blood pressure to drop dangerously. It's absolutely best to stick strictly to your urologist's advice.

I totally panicked when my stone didn't pass in three days and wanted to take Flomax twice a day too. But my doctor reassured me that these things take time, and a single daily dose is the standard safe limit.

I literally just passed a 6mm stone last month and was on Flomax. My doctor strictly told me once a day is enough, and warned that taking more won't speed it up but will just make me super lightheaded.

Please be gentle with your body. Do not double such strong medications on your own; instead, focus on drinking plenty of warm water and consulting your physician for the right dosage.

I had severe kidney stone complications last year and learned the hard way that self-adjusting prostate/urinary meds is dangerous. Please see your doctor before changing how often you take it.

Oh my god, please don't double your dose on your own! Flomax can make you very dizzy or even faint if the dose is too high. Please call your doctor right away to confirm.
