Rapaflo (silodosin) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: I have taken many medications for weak urine stream or frequency. Flomax did not help. I took Uroxatral and it helped at first. My urologist switched me to Rapaflo and after 2 weeks of Rapaflo, my stream is better and frequency is less.

Rapaflo (silodosin) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: My urine flow improved within just a few hours after the first dose. However, although I have somewhat of a climax during sex, there is no ejaculation, just totally dry, a weird feeling. Also, after a couple of days I noticed nasal congestion.
This is my first medication for BPH, so I must decide if the treatment is worse than the cure. One thing for sure, this could be the first real male contraceptive to hit the market!

Rapaflo (silodosin) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: I was taking Flomax. Very soon after starting Rapaflo I realized I could not ejaculate during sex. Also, after a couple of weeks I had two successive instances of a very weakened stream when urinating soon after taking the Rapaflo pill followed by nights of getting up several times to urinate. I went back to Flomax and the symptoms went away. Ejaculation was weak after several days on Flomax, but will, hopefully, improve.

Rapaflo (silodosin) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Rapaflo has worked great for me. I used to use Flomax and my doctor switched me. I feel so much better and don't have the dizziness I used to have with Flomax.

Rapaflo (silodosin) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: I had been using Flomax for the past 3 years and my urologist suggested I try this new medicine Rapaflo. Well I took it for 5 days and it became very difficult to urinate so I switched back to Flomax and all is flowing well again.

Rapaflo (silodosin) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: I am 37 and have taken this for two weeks. It has improved my urinary symptoms but has caused a side effect that I am not pleased with, retrograde ejaculation.

Rapaflo (silodosin) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: I like it because so far it has improved my flow 80% over the rest of the medications on the market.
