Re: Terazosin Any One...

I believe that's Hytrin and yes many have used it as described. It had some side effects , however, so other similar products like Cordura and
Flomax gained greater acceptance. Jim W.
Once again the pain and "urgency" associated with my enlarged prostate has flared up big time... Currently doing major Cipro to clobber any bacterial infection; indeed the flare-up usually subsides somewhat with this anti-biotic. (But I'd like to meet the idiot that says you need 3 to 4 glasses of water with each Cipro tablet...) The very specific pain in the prostate and bladder always leads me to the Dr for anti-biotics.
But... The urgency has got to the frantic stage (almost embarrassing sometimes -- only one instance of leakage). The difficulty relaxing-to-pee and the intensity of the urethra/glans pain has got beyond "manageable" -- I wish I was brave enough to self-catheterize, In the past three weeks I have tripled my Saw Palmetto and Lycopene intake with no obvious improvement.
So all that preamble just to ask if any of you fellas have tried TERAZOSIN? Here's some info I found via Google and damn it sounds promising...
---------------------------------------------
Terazosin has been shown to significantly increase urinary flow rates and decrease outflow obstruction. It is also effective in easing BPH-related symptoms by preventing stimulation of adrenergic receptors and consequent smooth muscle contractions in the bladder and prostatic urethra. Urodynamic improvement may help reduce urinary tract infection.
