Yes this helps with urine flow, that is about it. Here is the amazing part. At the generic price of $204./30 days, the cost of the ingredient is.... $17.50 /mg $17500.00/gram $7,936,250.00/lb, yes folks almost 8 million dollars for a pound. For that you could get 413.35 lbs of gold Illicit drug dealers are selling the wrong stuff on the street, a kilo of this goes for $17,500,000., yes 17...

I'm 70, on 0.4mg, and am going less often with less urgency. Flow is better. Partial erection more often during the day. Ejaculate is as much, but seems more watery and more clear.

33 year old male. I got diagnosted with prostate infection. It made me urinate before the infection. This drug seems to be helping while the symtoms are fixed. The ejaculation deal is very odd for me. I'm only on the drug for one month.

Started taking it on 17 Oct, todat is the 31st. Still getting up at night, but half as much. Erections are good as with orgasms, but ejaculation is gone. Not very happy with this side-effect! But hey, No wet spot to sleep in :} I had a vasectomy 12 yrs ago, so having more children are not an issue.

It works - for me the challenge has been remembering to take it daily. I notice that if I miss a dose, the affects are felt within 12 hours.

I have been able to minimize an extremely overactive blatter. Orgasm is still atainable, however ejaculation is nill to none. Although at first it was psycologically troubling I have accepted this side effect. I am 58 and have had a vascecomy 15 yrs ago. I would not recommend this drug to a man who was still interested in having children!

I have a condition that I produce excess calcium and have many kidney stones. I pass more than 2 per year, sometimes I've passed 2 at the same time or in a weeks time and just recently my Dr. prescribes Flomax and it has helped in passing the stones. I believe it helps because it relaxes the muscles. The important thing is that it helps.

Frequent trips to the bathroom made me take a trip to the doctor. Flomax prescribed, now I'm able to go longer periods between visits to the bathroom. My lady friend says I still go too much.
