For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I am 61 and have been taking DUODART for 3 months to cure my BPH. Before DUODART, I had nocturia, urinating 6 times a night but with little urine coming out. Hard to start my pee and very weak urine flow. After taking DUODART, I do not have nocturia anymore, and the urine flow has definitely increased. Will continue taking it for 3 more months and then will check if my PSA level has decreased to normal levels."
