User Reviews for Rapaflo oral

Drug worked amazingly well for symptoms. I can actually sleep through the night. What I hate is that after just two days on medication, I have no semen what-so-ever when I ejaculate. I still get a hard erection but enjoyment when achieving orgasm is nonexistent. I want to look for alternatives.

Like the patient who wrote the first review that I read, I am very surprised that constipation is not listed as a side effect. Additionally, while taking RAPAFLO, my nose much more dried out (stuffy) and mouth is somewhat dry. Urine flow may be a bit better, but I was having no problem with urine flow and a stone remains in my urethra -- will be removed by a laser zap.

drug works well ,,but,, i am constantly constipated from all the water loss to my body...i am suprised that this is not listed in the "side effects"...

Helped edema in lower legs after bladder surgery.

started taking as instructed and woke up with hives and a rash

constant urininating

Worked well but lost ability to ejaculate. My orgasms are now completely dry. It is somethingyou have to get used to.

79yo male with very enlarged prostate and totally inactive (no voluntary urination)bladder. I do three self catherizations a day to empty the "lazy bladder". About 400ml each time which is normal. With Rapaflo the tracts are flexible, so this works well for me; no nightly (or daytime) bathroom visits. I dropped Flomax a month ago because it killed the bladder - I also fired my GP then because he was negligent. Sex is normal; no emissions, but I don't need that at my age. When I finish the 30 pills in my prescription I hope the bladder and the prostate will return to normal again. Think positive!Read More Read Less

Has anyone experienced blue balls while on this medication? Today is my fourth day on it and I had no ejaculation this morning during sex and now 2 hours later my testicles are swollen and are painful.

The first pill I took caused such nasal congestion I could not use my CPAP. Nothing would clear my nasal passages. I was awake all night.

37 yr old male diagnosed with prostatitis. Low urine flow, pain in testicles and lower abdomin area. Pain on L/S of lower back. Tried FLomax and Alfusozin. Side effects were to strong, compeltely stuffed up nose - unable to sleep, dizziness and palpatations at work everytime I stood up from my chair. Tried Rapaflo 4mg. Expensive, but worked within a day. Few side effects. Slight runny nose once in a while. Biggest issue was no ejacualtion at climax - did not fee natural. Feels different, but still feels good. I also believe I passed a kidney stone while using rapaflo. Best time to take rapaflo is in the evening. Forgot to take in the evening once and took early afternoon, definetly noticed slight dizziness - not good when driving in traffic. Doctor recommended taking for six months. Hoping to get off and have everything return back to normal, especially ejacualtion issue. On the plus side, rapaflo can be marketed as the first male contraceptive, if you can stand side effects.Read More Read Less

This drug causes me to feel quite dizzy at times but also apathetic and unmotivated in general. I would really prefer to not use it, but need it to help pass kidney stones, and am on it for next few months. Really hopes it helps.

It relaxes the muscles and makes it easier to urenate

some benefits. HELPED TO DROP MY BLOOD PRESSURE BY FEW POINTS. annoying SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE COUGHING, SEVER NASAL CONGESTION AND RETROGRADE EJACULATION. Has made life easier.

Following surgery I could not urinate. After 48 hrs I wound up in ER with painfully full bladder and was catherized. Anesthethics put something else to sleep. Now I have been taking Rapaflo for 40 days and can pee OK but still not a strong stream, prob due to enlarged prostate. I noticed dry ejaculation when masturbating also very stuffy nose and dry mouth at night. I am quitting this drug and trying acupuncture now. Only if I discontinue drug will I know if I can urinate w/o the drug.

Severe dizziness. Noticable difference on second day. Weeding in garden, stood up, almost fell over from dizziness in my head.
