After two months, it had completely killed my libido and my ability to obtain an erection even with Viagra on board! 4 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I am 65 years old and have been taking Flomax for over a year. It works great for the flow of urine but I had a few side effects so I switched to Avodart. My bad symptoms disappeared but my flow of urine decreased and after two weeks I ended up with a Urinary Tract Infection. I see that some people take both Avodart and Flomax together for prostate problems. 9 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I have been taking 0.5mg daily for a year. The product works and has a bonus for me. I have always suffered from nose bleeds on an unpredictable basis. Since taking Advodart, I rarely experience a nose bleed. Several months ago, I went to using it every other day and within two weeks, the nose bleeds returned. With a return to the daily dosage, have had few if any nose bleeds. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I have prostate cancer. The doctor prescribed Avodart and my PSA went from 10.6 to 2.1 in two weeks. 9 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I started Avodart about 3 weeks ago and my nocturnal urinations have dropped from about 3x to once nightly. Stream has never been a problem and hasn't changed. I sleep more soundly and have not had any of the common side effects. 25 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I've had 2 TURPS 11 years ago. Flow was fully obstructed for over a year. Flow has been decreasing. Have been taking this for one week and flow seems noticably improved. No side effects. 21 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I have been taking Avodart for about two years now. It was prescribed because of an enlarged prostate which was affecting my ability to urinate. My stream is much improved. 25 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I have been taking 0.5 mg of avodart twice a day for 4 years. I have noticed no side effects and lab results verify that nearly all testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is blocked. Since prostate cancer growth is stimulated by DHT, and not testosterone, my PSA has remained low (below 1)with no tumor regrowth (after radiation therapy). 21 user(s) found this comment helpful.

This medication worked for me from day one! The flow immediately smoothed out. No problems for the first week of use, which is how long I have been on it. 34 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
