I am not physically restricted - I walk 1 mile or more day and do 10 minutes of other light exercises most days. My BP runs under 120/80 most of the time. I understand carvedilol helps prevent stiffening of the heart muscle and can help restore LV function to some degree. How specially, so it do this? What is the biochemical mechanism?
The mechanism of action of Campral® (acamprosate calcium) Delayed-Release Tablets in maintenance of alcohol abstinence is not completely understood. Originally, several neurotransmitter systems, including GABA, were investigated for a possible role in Campral's mechanism of action. However, recent evidence suggests Campral's main interaction is with the glutamate system. Chronic alcohol exposure is hypothesized to alter the normal balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition.

I have been on this medicine (together with a double dose of Flomax) for the past two years. I have noticed a definite improvement in urinary symptoms (fewer trips to the bathroom, better flow), but it has wreaked havoc with my sex life (no erections, no ejaculation). I would like to quit, but am afraid that the effects of quitting might be worse than the ones I am currently experiencing.
I am 69 years old.
To Whom Ever can advise
"I'm a 62 year old male. I have noticed that just in the past several years my semen volume has diminished to just a drop when i ejaculate. My penis no longer throbs and my testicles seemed to have gotten a lot smaller. My sex drive is much reduced and my climaxes are almost pseudo. My penis does'nt get all that firm when erect and I don't walk up in the moring with an erection as in the past.
I was hospitalized right after my post. My calcium level was in the 3. range and my potassium level was also very low. I was running a fever so of course I was hooked up to antibiotics and calcium piggyback along with potassium. They would not release me until my calcium was 8 which took 10 days. In the meantime, a urologist saw me and ordered a bladder test to see how much urine my bladder would hold. They finally quit at 1500 ml of dye.
Needless to say, I found this to be disconcerting, and discovered (through onling research) that a decrease in semen production was a common side effect of Flomax. But, I kept on using this combination hoping things would improve with the semen. Needless to say, after approximately 3 weeks, I had the same experience, but this time followed by pain in my lower abdomen (during the end of orgasm sensations).
No do not change your medicines if Flomax works. Even if you stopped or switched to another type you could still have floppy iris syndrome. If it works keep on it and tell your eye surgeon. Special techniques and instruments and drops make FIS not the problem it use to be when we first saw it.
yes the Flomax is the cause of your retro. I've read people have permanent strength loss on Flomax too.
some people are anti Avodart since it affects the prostate hormonally and may have longterm effects. I think I may stop the Flomax after a few days on 0.8mg/day
I had a burning urination like I was releasing prostate fluid so maybe that is good? I really want to get prostate drainage, it seems that some urologists may do prostate massage.
Plavix has a unique mechanism of action by blocking the amplification of platelet activation by released ADP, and often used with aspirin to prevent the risk of clots for the first year after DES implant. Plavix and aspirin have different mechanism of action to prevent clots. After a year, plavix is usually discontinue as the risk for clots is decreased, and aspirin is continued long term. The risk of a clot is about 3%.
Now one week to the day the results have returned,l am pain free but ultrasound shows a non obstructive 8mm stone in my right kidney,slight prominence of the right renal pelvics but no other features of renal tract obstruction..... My Doctor has said we wait till any further pain or discomfort and will then refer me to a Urologist. My question is would l have already passed a stone?
Hi,
Thanks for writing in. Prostatitis is usually not a side effect of use of flomax, indeed it can happen due to BPH, for which flomax is used as treatment. It would be better to get prostrate examination done by a urologist and take opinion for surgery for resolving these symptoms.
Choice of antibiotics depends upon the kind of organism affecting the prostrate.
Best.
which he needs to be able to urinate or as he says to keep his plumbing working, anyway, he would have dizzy spells. His doctor said this was normal, a side effect of Flomax. But now lately he has been passing out; I think that is unusual for any medication and I'm worried there may be something else going on. He will not go to see the doctor because he also thinks it's because of the Flomax. He checks his blood pressure constantly and it's usually within the normal range.
Can flomax have impact on your sleeping behavior.
enlarged prostate regardless of biopsy outcome. Flomax does not seem to be making an improvement in frequency of urination--does this have an indication that cancer is more likely? In other words, if nodule were benign would the Flomax be likely to work better? Does progressive increase in frequency indicate a higher chance of cancer?
I went to the urologist who prescribed me flomax to try to help with the urge to urinate. The flomax made me feel dizzy/sick and I stopped taking it early on.
My dr still seemed puzzled. He told me that he has explored every option. Mr doctor said that he spoke to his colleagues about my symptoms. He said that he would try something he felt was out of his normal scope, but still within the scope of sound medicine....
I have been using finesteride instead of flomax for the last 4 month.
i am having tachycardia, chestpain after using flomax - only second pill how long can take the side effects considering that i stopped taking flowmax 36 hours
