Get a tamsulosin (Flomax) prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.
• Specialist referrals in eligible provinces: Ability to be referred to a physician specialist for in-person care, if needed.
• Credit discounts: An $80 credit per month to be applied to a Maple specialist visit.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

At Maple, we proudly prioritize privacy as a cornerstone of our virtual care services. We strictly adhere to privacy and healthcare legislation in Canada, such as PIPEDA and PHIPA regulations, to ensure patients' personal and health information remains completely private and safeguarded.

Our policies and consent processes are designed to be simple and easily understood, empowering individuals with control and a clear understanding of their healthcare journey. When using our services, a patient’s session is protected by a comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies.

Patients also retain full control of their personal health information, medical records and test results at all times. Our approach is reinforced by consultations with leading experts, guaranteeing comprehensive policy frameworks that are reviewed at a regular cadence.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Tamsulosin is a medication known as an ‘alpha blocker’, which specifically affects muscles in the prostate and bladder.

A tamsulosin prescription works by affecting the alpha-1A and alpha-1B adrenoceptors, which causes the smooth muscle in the prostate, as well as the muscles in the bladder neck to relax.

This allows for better, more consistent urinary flow.

Most frequently, a Flomax prescription is given to men who’re experiencing benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH (an enlarged prostate gland).

Although this medication doesn’t shrink the prostate, it does help with certain symptoms of BPH. These include a frequent need to urinate, a weak stream while urinating or alleviating the feeling of being unable to completely drain your bladder.

If you’ve been given a tamsulosin prescription online, it’ll only be available as a capsule, to be taken orally.

Dosage and frequency of use will depend on your needs and the recommendations of your doctor. It’s typically taken once per day, within 30 minutes of eating a meal.

A tamsulosin prescription should be taken at the same time every day to get the most benefit from it. It’ll be most effective if taken regularly and could take up to 4 weeks before you see an improvement in your symptoms.

Common side effects from taking a Flomax prescription include:

• Abnormal ejaculation
• Congestion
• Headache
• Weakness
• Runny nose or sneezing
• Back pain
• Body aches or pain
• Tender or swollen glands in the neck
• Difficulty swallowing
• Voice changes
• Nausea
• Decreased sexual drive

Even if you’ve been given a Flomax prescription online, before starting this medication you should tell your doctor if you’ve ever experienced:

• Liver disease
• Kidney disease
• A personal or family history of prostate cancer
• Hypotension (low blood pressure)
• An allergy to sulfa drugs

These previous issues could increase your risk of experiencing negative side effects.
