Experiences with

Rapaflo

Still taking Rapaflo every other day or so. Thanks

P.S: He is currently on Xtandi, Lupron, Zometa, Rapaflo and painkillers.

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.

[u]The Pelvic MRI results are:[/u] 1) Mild L5 compression 2) And all the bone Mets that were present during diagnosis as well We also got a Pelvic Ultrasound that showed Severe Urine Retention, and since then he has been taking Rapaflo (Silodosin) and has a little improvement.

When at the RO's office to begin radiation he took him back for an ultrasound and found he had 'bladder diverticulum' and prescribed Rapaflo, which has pretty much taken care of the problem. My husband also has his medical marijuana card now and this is helping him as well. I like good news days!

PSAs up (highest 7.65) and down (lowest 5.43), TRUS biopsies done every other year, 12 cores always negative. 2010, missed PSA due to relocation, new job, house hunting, moving and finding a new urologist. 2011, BPH still worsening, gland estimated to be 100+ grams, PSA 7.74, urologist prescribed Rapaflo

then replaced Tamsilosin for Prostate reliever with Rapaflo or Silodosin that can be directed into the tube.....He was up evey other hour starting at 1:30 am trying to pee! So neither could he sleep nor relieve himself......Am I too soon to make judgement?

Incontinent without Rapaflo. Pain from stents in the ureter openings to my bladder, due to a tumour there and to the need for good flow after chemo. Retirement early has been stressful. I'm fortunate to have a husband. We've been together since 2004.

I have been taken Rapaflo and Finasteride for the last two years. My PSA is now 9.4.  Now I am having another biopsy. Does PSA really mean anything or it the doctor right in wanting another biopsy? i am not having any problems. One last thing I am a white and 74 years old.
