Comment from: Royalba, 65-74 Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

Although one tab is recommended, in my case it didn't perform well. My doctor upped the dosage to two tabs daily. One Am and one Pm. Both times with food. It has dramatically improved my condition. It has almost completely eliminated my nightly visits to the bathroom. I no longer get unforefilled urges to urinate. Much stronger stream when urinating. Published: February 12, 2008 ::

I experienced a dramatic improvement in my urinary problems due to BPH after just one dose. Truly impressive! Published: October 03, 2007 ::

Urologist prescribed Uroxatral for descreased urinary flow extending over a long period of time. Within one day of taking Uroxatral, I am asymptomatic. My urine flow has greatly increased. I also noticed that Uroxatral has produced better erections; that the flacid penis is more full, and; the testes hang lower. Published: April 15, 2008 ::

I was using Flomax. I was able to achieve a good erection and engage in sexual intercourse, but Flomax prevented me from ejaculating when I climaxed. My doctor switched me to Uroxatral. After using Uroxatral for a month, I was able to ejaculate again. After using Uroxatral for another month, I was NOT able to achieve an erection sufficient to penetrate. I need to see my doctor again. Published: February 18, 2008 ::

Used for CPPS. Worked great, though noticed some possible side effects including stuffy nose and headaches. Also a little dizzy first couple of days, but that went away. Published: September 27, 2007 ::

The drug had little or no effect on my problem, but I seemed to have a sinus problem every time Itook it. Published: December 24, 2007 ::

Tried this after two week trial with Flomax caused bad side effects. After three days on this drug I am stopping it too. Helped urine flow and emptying bladder, but the worse side effect was sleep disruption, including weird and violent dreams. Also, lack of ejaculate, pounding heart, headaches, drippy nose. I am also on terazosin, so there may be some interaction. Published: March 21, 2009 ::

This drug has helped with flow. However it leaves you with some sexual dysfunction. Energy level has decreased. Forgetfulness problems have seemed to increase. Published: March 02, 2009 ::

Comment from: larzie, 75 or over Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

Tried flomax but was dizzy some of the time and did feint once. With uroxatral I have rarely been dizzy, and then only a little. Works great. Published: September 30, 2008 ::

Comment from: Male (Patient)

USed this and got instant relief of urinary and other issues. Switched to Flomax due to insurance. Was awful, no semen, decreased sexual ability and no improvement in symptoms. Back on Uroxatrol. Published: September 09, 2008 ::
