Experiences with

Flomax

I am on ADT (Orgovyx, Abiraterone, prednisone), and Flomax. The ADT will coninue for at least 2 years. Last week, tested positive for Covid; put on Paxlovid- was advised to stop Flomax while on Paxlovid. Continuing with the other meds.

Currently, I have Covid, and have stopped my Flomax for 10 days, as advised, while taking Paxlovid. This has reminded me that my life is much more comfortable with Flomax, as without it I have some urgency and a chronically weak stream. Is there a downside to staying on it long-term?

Recently saw post which suggested a possible side effect of Tamsulosin ie Flomax could be AF? Anyone have any evidence of this..been taking it for twenty years!

He also takes flomax. He’s tried twice now and was unable to urinate on his own. Help!!

Pill wise, I'm still on the daily Orgovyx, have added blood pressure meds (a game changer), and Flomax. PSA in June: 0.71 and T: 25; August: 0.87 and T: 22.

Was treated for frequent urination with Flomax in the past,, but hasn't been on it for a long time. Any recommendations for doctor for initial consultation? Thanks

2 weeks post SBRT 5 sessions for low risk intermediate and the short term SEs have diminished, no longer taking the flomax and rectal issues were minimal.Are the acute/short term SEs severity a predictor for long term/ chronic SE issues?

I also take a statin, a reflux pill, vitamin D, flomax, and cialis. Obviously this is tough to pinpoint and I understand that - but just curious if others have any thoughts. Thanks

5 sessions all complete for my low risk intermediate pc at Christies Manchester UK today.Started flomax yesterday for some urinary urgency hopefully that will resolve itself, a bit loose from the rectum this morning but nothing else.I'll get back to you all in the coming yrs about late side effects,

Flomax was added to deal with any potential urinary flow issues due to radiation. PSA level, after ADT started, has gone down from 9.2 to .02 (Ultrasensitive PSA). No side effects thus far (apart from hot flashes). Waiting game starts. ADT will continue for 2 years.

For the past 2 yrs I've been taking Flomax, 1 at night, to help with frequent urination at night. It also has helped with starting/stopping and urge to pee. Between my MD and me we landed on BPH as the more likely thing and up till now never considered testing PSA level.

Had hesitancy & reduced stream for a week , stayed on flomax and went away. Was supposed to take flomax for a month but stayed on it 3 months as when I tried stopping, hesitancy and reduced stream would recur. No GI side effects. Yesterday checked my first PSA, 0.8. ( was 7 at treatment).

I would like to get some experiences of people that have taken Flomax or other medicines to reduce the prostate size. I have an allergy to sulfa, what makes me a little nervous about using Flomax

Should we be concerned about estrogen interactions with Lupron/Xgeva/Flomax/Losartin? Thanks if you have personal experience to share to bring us up to speed.

Flomax started with treatment and continues. 9 - Some constipation, watery blood on TP, mucus. Urination fine. 10 - Urgency last night a couple times, once needed to get up and hit the can.

Is it safe to use Avodart and Flomax with advanced prostate cáncer? I am tired of getting up to pee 7 or 8 times a night.

A question: is it safe to take Flomax and Avodart to improve urine flow? I am tired of having to get up to pee 7 or 8 times a night.

Started two Flomax a day. Day 2- Only peed once that night, urgency improved. Day 3- Did not need to pee overnight. Back to one Flomax. Day 4 - GI urgency, some mucus passed, watery blood on toilet paper. Butt feels like it did after TRUS biopsy.

Flomax is incompatible with anti- depress and sleep meds, I have to take to alleviate ADT side effects, and takes a month to work. Appreciate words of medical wisdom, other than "go with the flow" :)
