Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / November 2004Uroxatral comments
Had the cystoscopy today, not a real big deal, all the worry was in vain. Now I feel like I am peeing through razor blades, but that too will pass. Soon, I hope. Anyway, nothing all that exciting was found. A little bit of stricture in the prosatate area, prostate about 45 or so. Uro not real sure why I retain so much urine, I should be showing some discomfort, bad flow, etc., but have none of those problems. (400ml or so) Anyway, suggested and put me on Uroxatrall to see how it goes. <g> Any comments on this drug would be appreciated ! Thanks Zork Good drug! I was on Flomax and had to live with retro. I was put on Xatrol only because I complained about dizziness and low energy with Flomax. This was a lucky break for me. I discovered I had no retro with Xatrol. So, I think it is much better than Flomax. But, this is just my opinion. Glad the procedure was not too painful...Take some pain killers regularly over the next few days to manage the pain before it sets in,... Aspirin or the like. Best of luck to you. > Had the cystoscopy today, not a real big deal, all the worry was > in vain.

Symptoms included urgengcy, inability to start urination or ability to empty the bladder. Internist put me on Uroxatral 10 mg which seemed to get me past the crises. Had a TUMT July 2, and continued the Uroxatral post the TUMT. Still on the Uroxatral at this time. Do not find any side effects that are troublesome, but am concerned about long term use of the medication. Thus far, it has not caused any sexual problems such as retro or inability to ejac which are said to be side effects of Flomax and some of the other meds. Be glad to answer any questions.

How long will I be on it before I am likely to notice any effects/improvement ? ? Zork ---------- >I am a 61 yr old who went into urinary crises after a nose exam by an >ENT specialist in May 2004.

Thanks. chockman@canby.com Within 2 hours of taking it you will notice the meds start to slowly kick in. Within 4 to 6 hours you ought to be whizzing rather well. Dizziness or other side effects you may notice upon exertion such as climbing a steep set of stairs. After a couple of months, you may have to titrate the dosage. I started at one tab of 10 mg Xatrol and am now using 1.5 tabs, (approx 15 mg) and do notice that I am having more bad days than good. It's obvious now, that I am just buying time till my surgeon confirms date of my PVP....Good luck to you.
