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...
This medication exacerbated my condition! It acted like a diuretic!

Only took 2 doses .. head cold, SEVERE headache, and can't focus my eyes well. Improved urinary symptoms, but can't stand the head pain at the moment. Headache started about 6-8 hours after taking pill, so though it was a coincidence yesterday, today it happened the same # of hours later, and was much more severe. Don't usually get headaches.

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.

i am a woman prescribed this medication for female urgency / frequency and weak stream due to OAB. after trying all traditional bladder medicines for women, flomax and uroxatrol seemed to help the most. my insurance will not cover it though, since i am a woman, but it is worth the benefits. i do feel a little tired though. oh well!

Works well but don't seem to last into the night. I have been on it for about a year and take it once a day in the morning. By night time it seems to wear off. Going to see doctor today to discuss.

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.

I was put on Uroxitrol because of an enlarged prostate and hard to start urinating. One problem though, I have noticed that my wife is unable to make me ejaculate any more. I can sustain an erection but have difficulty with ejaculating. From what I've read others have some of the same problems. I think i will try to stop taking this med and see what happenes.

I could not take this medication for more than 2 days. It caused too much fatigue and an inability to concentrate.

I have been on this drug for about 10 weeks now. It has greatly improved my urge to pee at night. I generally get through the night without getting up but occasionally I do get up to urinate. I have always had sinus/allergy problems and I take Zyrtec daily. Both drugs seem to work well and I can't point to any specific reactions to either one. During the first three days of taking the drug I had some fairly severe but limited in duration dizziness. That has not occurred since the first week. Sooooo, it is working and I will keep taking it.Read More Read Less
