Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / July 2005Uroxatral 0r Flomax
I have been taking Flomax for about 1 year and now my URO wants me to try Uroxatral. Any one know about Uroxatral? Possible problems on the bottle look scary. > Possible problems on the bottle look scary. If you have been on Flomax for a year its time to get PVP done The longer you delay the more damage thats done to the bladder and the greater the risks of retro etc Am going for PVP as soon as some one around here does it.

Uroxatral did not. Neither helped me much but that's another story. >I have been taking Flomax for about 1 year and now my URO wants me to try > Uroxatral. > Any one know about Uroxatral? > Possible problems on the bottle look scary. Hi...I was on Uroxatral from May 04 to Feb 05. Developed urinary retention after visit to Ear, Nose Throat Doc who sprayed Afrin nose spray into my nasal passages to diagnose a deviated septum. I had no retro with Uroxatral or stuffy nose. Was more tired, irritable and depressed while on it. I associate lower back pain with continuing use of Uroxatral. Was glad to get off it after a TUMT July 04 and a PVP Feb 05. I feel so much more alive, less tired or irritable. No lower back pain! I have never been on Flomax which I understand can cause retro. > I have been taking Flomax for about 1 year and now my URO wants me to try > Uroxatral. > Any one know about Uroxatral? > Possible problems on the bottle look scary. Yes i have had retro. The Flomax is now not working as good as it did before, time to find a PVP doctor. Steve > Hi...I was on Uroxatral from May 04 to Feb 05.

I am on Uroxatrol. Doesn't help my nocturia much, but better stream. think it make me a little more fatigued, than usual. I am looking int PVP. Flomax made me hyper strangely enough I am on neither drug now, though I used to take Flomax for 7 years. It made me hyper too, ROBO, though like you, it certainly helped my stream. However, when I moved this year I also changed uros. My current uro did a few tests and informed me that despite the fact Flomax was working, I was still accumulating bladder damage. Damage caused by the bladder detruser musle overworking by pushing against an enlarged prostate. He suggested an operation and I agreed. I am so glad that I am no longer taking Flomax. By the way, there was a physician's advisary released in Jan 2004 that Flomax can cause "floppy iris syndrome" though this only seems to be a problem during eye operations. http://www.ascrs.org/advocacy/pressrelease_011305.htm Dave > I am on Uroxatrol.

Flomax really caused me all kinds of problems. I went looking for PVP. The Urologist talked me into trying Targis TUMT first. It is supposed to be the least invasive and often the one most likely not to give results. It takes about six weeks to see results but I began to note a significant difference at two weeks. Flow is good and I had absolutely no secondary problems. Probably the most uncomfortable procedure because you are wide awake for the whole thing. Maybe next time I will go PVP but must admit I might try TUMT again when the time comes. I took Uroxatrol for about a year. L likes it better than flomax. Les side effects, but everyone is different. You have to see for yourself Recently had pvp now off all |
