Switched to Uroxatral after being on Flomax for a couple months. While Flomax addressed the BPH issues well, it had a horrendous effect on my sexual function. Could no longer ejaculate at all, and could no longer reach any orgasm. Within a few days of being on Uroxatral, those issues were gone, and in some ways were better than before I was on either drug. Uroxatral seems to be handling the BP...

The drug works fairly well BUT I've gotten a head cold & the Dr. says to NOT use cold pills. They cancel each other out. So not only do I have problems urinating, I still have the sniffles.

I was on Terozosin for years for BPH but started to have real bad side effects like rapid heart rate and etc. Went on this drug and not only did it fix my symptoms almost totally, I aahve not had too bad side effects as of yet using it for about 1 week now. This drug will reduce my need for surgery on the short term for sure.

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.

My bladder presses on my prostate urging me to go. Flomax was limiting my semen discharge. So my doctor put me on uroxatral. I have found that with Uroxatral I get up two or three times a night. With Flomax I would get up once or twice a night. If I want a sexual encounter I stop using the Flomax. I am going back to using the Flomas. The results are better for me.

Had to stop taking it. Seems my eyes got blurry and dry. Eye doctor said it probably was the medication.

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.

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.

Have used this drug on and off for a year. After just the first use, I urinate much more freely and do empty my bladder more fully, but the burning sensation of needing to urinate is worse. If I use the drug longer, I'm hoping this sympton will lessen. I have tried Flomax and cannot see any difference.
