Experiences with

Alfuzosin

They’ve advised tamsolosin over alfuzosin. I read alfuzosin has a better record at stopping erectile dysfunction- she said both are pretty much the same…. Can anyone give me advice/experiences with this. I also have glaucoma- I’m hoping it won’t be impacted. many thanks rob

I have not heard of terazosin, doxazosin, and alfuzosin Does anyone have knowledge or experience with them? How do their side effects compare? What are their on label and off label uses?

Having looked at the possible side effects profile of the various options I agreed with my GP to try Alfuzosin first (the once a day option) and I have been doing so for 5 days so far (in the evening).

Any ideas why it’s always at night, between 2-4AM, when the alfuzosin should be at its highest blood level? Before and after that time it’s not too bad (it’s always bad, but manageable since the procedure).

I was on Tadalafil, Alfuzosin and Sildosin. I'm retaining 600CCs before I go and my urologist suggested intermittent catheterization. I've been doing that 4x a day for the last two weeks and frankly it stinks.

do the side affects of Alfuzosin abate some after being on it for awhile.

He then prescribed alfuzosin, but I was afraid to take it because of some similarities to Doxazosin. What to do? Doxazosin apparently comes in a 1mg. dosage. Does it make sense to try that, maybe just before bedtime instead of after dinner, and see if I can gradually build it up to 4mg?

Why would some men have no response to Alfuzosin? My doc says it's the best. Does it indicate I might have a different disease? Is there a common denominator in the men for whom this drug is ineffective? Anyone else have this experience?

Also had urodynamics to rule out any bladder problems I now find myself taking Alfuzosin three times a day but still have overnight leakages (usually when erect). I take supplements like pumpkin seed oil. Saw palmetto, cranberry but symptoms don’t seem to subside.

I have been taking Alfuzosin 10 mg since January 1, and although I know it helps I still feel far from normal. I am able to achieve erections and orgasm although the latter is uncomfortable as well.

They also prescribed a medication to increase the urine flow called Alfuzosin. I started taking the Alfuzosin after a few days as the restricted flow and associated discomfort was relentless. I felt like I needed to be all the time. December 17 9 AM Today was pretty easy.

Alpha blockers include: alfuzosin (Uroxatral) doxazosin (Cardura) silodosin (Rapaflo) tamsulosin (Flomax) terazosin (Hytrin) 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for BPH This type of medication reduces the size of the prostate gland by blocking hormones that spur the growth of your prostate gland.

Hi All, I’m new to this group, I was diagnosed with BPH , started taking Alfuzosin 2.5mg , the urologist said I should increase up to 7.5mg if I can tolerate it, thing is he never told me if I should take it as a complete dose 3 tablets at once or spread morning , noon and night .

I paid for an online PSA test, with the following results ---- P S Ag (total) 4.72 ug/l 0.00 - 6.50 P S Ag (Free) 1.41 ug/l 0 - 0.90 Free:Total ratio 0.30 >0.24 is normal I am 78, diagnosed with an enlarged prostate, and use Alfuzosin daily.

Was diagnosed PC left lateral base Gleason score 3+3=6 involving 5% of one of two cores 3/1/2019. 6 months on active surveillance and taking Finasteride and Alfuzosin for BPH and extreme large Prostate. MRI done 10/29/2019 with no sign of anything changing.

I’ve been on Alfuzosin 10mg since the brachytherapy. Wondering if I should try one of the others? Trying to cut down on meals and go more low fiber to help with gas/bloating and frequency. Also trying to stick to mainly water, with none past dinner.

Some that instead of taking alfuzosin or the like one should take cialis on a daily basis. Has anyone tried this?

During my visit to my urologist/surgeon 7 days post surgery he has given me 2 month course of Alfuzosin. What do you think do I have Benign Prostate Hyperplasia(BPH)? I am 44 and is much into martial arts, swimming, gym etc. I try to eat very healthy.

Previously I have been on tamsulosin and alfuzosin, separately. I have told my GP that I am suffering from moderate to severe fatigue, which I am, and which sometimes makes holding down a full time job extremely difficult, especially one in which I am required to be physically active.
