My Pharmacist told me that some sinus medications would make my prostate swell larger.
Which cold or sinus medications should I stay away from.
My sinus' are running, and I am being treated for an enlarged prostate. I also am taking Avodart?

Patients with an enlarged prostate should not take any medicines containing decongestants such as phenylephrine or pseudoephedrine. These drugs may cause or worsen urinary difficulty in patients with prostate enlargement.
