Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / February 2004IF FLOMAX DOESN'T WORK
Flomax only marginally improved my flow after 8 weeks on it. Does this mean it just doesn't work for me or does it mean I have a certain feature to bph (eg large median lobe)?? As usual after 10 minutes, I've still got questions, Uro gets up and holds the door open to show me out ready for the next punter (and his fee!!) Any answer you get here is just a guess. Only your uro can answer and he's probably guessing too although he may have more information on which to base his guess. It didn't work for me either. > Flomax only marginally improved my flow after 8 weeks on it.

The arrogant uro I dismissed said Flomax and the other drugs do not work on median lobe enlargements he wanted to do an immediate TURP on me I rejected this in favour of PVP and I do not regret one second of my decision Only wish PVP had been available 6 months sooner so I could have avoided 6 lousy months going nowhere on Flomax etc "nambucca" <nambucca@nospam.com> wrote in message > > The arrogant uro I dismissed said Flomax and the other drugs do not work on > median lobe enlargements he wanted to do an immediate TURP on me > I rejected this in favour of PVP and I do not regret one second of my > decision > Only wish PVP had been available 6 months sooner so I could have avoided 6 > lousy months going nowhere on Flomax etc Nambucca, Did you turn out to have a median lobe enlargement? Interesting to know what your symptoms were?? Where abouts in the UK are you I'm in High Wycombe. Magna > Flomax only marginally improved my flow after 8 weeks on it.

I was told that Flomax can take up to six months to give it's full effect. Derek. Most of the studies I've seen (Flomax v. placebo) show about 75% of the improvement in the first 4 weeks then gradually increasing to max effectiveness in about 3 months. It's doubtful he'll see much too much more improvement after 8 weeks. Here's a link. http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2001/20579s7lbl.PDF > > Flomax only marginally improved my flow after 8 weeks on it.
