For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Have been taking Jalyn for 3 months. Did experience better urine flow and less trips to the bathroom at night. Side affects are: constipation, dry ejaculation (no semen), decreased libido, dizziness and hip pain. Might consider switching medication depending if side effects worsen."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "After a week of using Jalyn, among other less severe side effects, I developed a severe hip joint area inflammation that got so bad that I could hardly walk. Had XRAY and MRI done and no issues with the hip joint. I quit taking and switched to AVODART and have had no side effects and has helped without any noticeable side effects. Took 5 weeks for hip area to go back to normal. "

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I was prescribed Jalyn for 8 months and my Doctor terminated its use at the start of the new year. I noticed very little improvement in the need to urinate approximately every two hours at night. I experienced feelings of weakness, leg cramps, and breast pain/enlargement. I also have noticed some pain in hips and joints that may or may not be related to the medication. I feel positive about the decision to discontinue its use."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I have been taking Jalyn for about 4 months, and have experienced mild improvement in my urine stream. I get up once during the night. Have experienced decreased libido and an inability to ejaculate, which happened during third month of use. Also had some mild dizziness during first month."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Helped a lot. Made it a lot easier to urinate but still not a strong stream and I still have trouble fully emptying my bladder at night. Caused a lot of hair loss on my body and I no longer ejaculate anything. Sex drive is also down. I still get up 8 times at night to urinate. Doctor has not been able to help with that."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Taking for about 2 weeks - noticeable improvement - was getting up 2-3 times a night, now none, stronger stream, no side effects yet. But, @ $3.00/pill and not covered by insurance, it is quite expensive."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I took Jalyn for ten months; it worked well the first six months, then I increased trips to bathroom at night during the last four months. I had to quit because of increased risk of cancer; that is, my PSA increased passed 4.00."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Have taken drug for about ten years now. PSA is constant around 2.3, familiar symptoms including dry ejaculation, breast enlargement, reduced libido, nightly trips to the bathroom down to 1 (normal) or 2 a night. Size of prostate is/has been about 1/2 size originally measured in this time period. Small cancer sample with no change over this time period. Cannot attribute any other weaknesses or pains to the use of the drug. Doctor tells me over and over again it's a lifetime drug which I am not fond of hearing. May consider surgery to remove prostate."

"The only thing is about 10 to 20 minutes after swallowing the capsule it seems my stomach is burning! This only lasts a couple minutes, but I really wish it wouldn't happen. Other than that one thing I'm feeling OK now at almost 89."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Like others I have been able go many nights without trips to the bathroom. The downside is I can barely walk more than 100 yards before my leg cramps. I think I will have my Doc take me off."
