Flomax is supposed to be taken 1/2 hour after the same meal each day. My meal schedule is erratic - I'm not sure I will always have a certain meal every day. Sometimes I skip dinner if I eat a late lunch, and vice versa. Breakfasts are never guaranteed. So what's more important - eating 1/2 hour before I take the pill or taking the pill at the same time each day? What's a guy to do?

I've been on Flomax for about 5 years and take it within a two hour windon most days -- between about 4:30 and 6:30. Sometimes I have already eaten and sometimes I eat afterwards. It has never seems to have any impact on its effectiveness for me.
What =I= want to know is -- does Flomax come in different strengths?
