Avatar f tn A doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 625mg + Tamsulosin medicine for 10 days to me. I have a side effect after taking Tamsulosin (Retrograde ejaculation) or any other ejaculation problem. Is this normal or should I stop using Tamsulosin? Or will it (Retrograde ejaculation ) recover after stop using ten days? Should I keep getting Tamsulosin for 10 days or stop?
Avatar n tn Are you taking Flomax for prostate issues? Flomax works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate, which leads to improved flow of urine and fewer symptoms of BPH. It indeed can have side effects like you describe. https://www.healthline.com/health/enlarged-prostate/flomax-side-effects#side-effects It's a relatively low percentage of patients, less than 4% that have these types of side effects but none the less, that could be going on for you.
Avatar f tn I had no idea why I was feeling like I have a cold, very stuffy nose, headache, blurred vision, abdominal pain, lower back pain and lastly a bloody nose that started me looking at the side effects of this medicine... It causes all the symptoms I just listed. Why would anyone prescribe this medicine unless they are receiving payment from the drug company manufacturing it! It is unhealthy and can also create cataracts. DO NOT TAKE TAMSULOSIN FOR ANY REASON.
Avatar m tn Are you able to check your blood pressure at home? One of the potential side effects of the med you're taking is sudden drop in blood pressure, and that correlates with the symptoms you describe.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I just have this poking chest pain in the left side relieved by tamsulosin. does the r axis mean definitely I have enlarged right atrium or ventricle? so I could have some fibrosis? I wish this pain and prostate infection would just die I've begun to distrust test ranges, I think I may have some hypertension and the ranges are off.
Avatar n tn i would like ask u it is a side effect of tamsulosin .it is tempreroy or it will b permanent, how many days i should b take this medicine.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately the long term ocular side effects are still unkown for this drug. So for now the drug does have FDA approval for appropriate use. I wish I could answer your question - but I don't think anyone knows. Michael J.
Avatar m tn 8 mg/d of the alpha-blocker tamsulosin but good on flow. I am scared to death to be heading to a TURP for side effects but on the other side very concerned PVR is damaging my bladder due to BPH. Should an 5-alpha reductase be tried with tamsulosin prior to try the surgery? Experience please !! I keep supplementing with saw palmetto, betasitosterol, stinging nettle, pigeum, lycopene, etc ...
Avatar n tn The itching, redness, and discharge I have had for years. I only started using the Latisse a week ago.
1580703 tn?1651904887 Hello, Every drug has its own side effects and Flomax (tamsulosin) is no exception. However it has been reported that treatment with FLOMAX capsules for up to 12 months had no significant effect on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and does not effect prostate. It effect the vision and may cause blurred vision but that is found in only 0.2- 2% of the patients.
Avatar n tn I had same problem, but on 1 tablet a day till I had surgery on prostate (TURP) 8 years ago with no drugs. Google new surgery on Prostate called Razum, popular in US and consultants here not pleased because it can be performed by your GP.
Avatar m tn Hello, Uromax contains tamsulosin which has abnodmal ejaculation as its side effect. Abnormal ejaculation includes ejaculation failure, ejaculation disorder, retrograde ejaculation, and ejaculation decrease. You can consult your doctor and talk to him regarding decreasing the dose of Uromax or change to 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like Finasetride (Proscar) which can be used for BPH.
Avatar f tn I've been on Levaquin twice. Ugh!!! I have severe joint pain and fatigue both times. I have a really high pain tolerance and was allergic to my other options at the time, so I toughed out the 10 days both times. I don't recommend that and my doctor has promised to figure out an alternative for future infections. The first time, the serious fatigue and joint pain lasted about 3 weeks total (including the 10 days). The second time it was about 5 weeks.
Avatar n tn t say the sx bother me or if I notice any. I do from neupogin. There are side effects but much like ones felt from riba or peg. Just a short time for you till the end. I have 6 more weeks myself. On and off procrit and neupogin depending on my labs.
Avatar f tn You can easily find on the internet side effects, precautions, dosage. On the other hand plaquenil has some potential (low) for ocular damage. Read more https://www.drugs.com/pro/plaquenil.
Avatar n tn The symptoms of ocular migraines vary from person to person, and may include seeing zigzagging lines or patterns, especially at the outer edges of your vision, seeing shimmering or colored lights, loss of vision in one spot or off to one side. With typical migraines, but uncommonly with ocular migraines, you can have severe pain following these symptoms. You may also have nausea or vomiting. Ocular migraines usually require no treatment, other than rest until the symptoms pass.
Avatar f tn Dr. O - if I could find anything definitive, I would not have asked. I was interested in your opinion as a physician. Is there a glaucoma specialist on this board that you could forward this to, perhaps? Thank you very much again for your time.
Avatar n tn Is it normal to experience dull, lingering eye pain that lasts months following an ocular migraine? Can these headaches and lingering effects also make it seems like vision from the effected eye is not quite as good as it was before? If you've heard of this happening, can you suggest a way to remedy the long-term problems?
Avatar m tn What were the results? Were there any side effects such as headache?
Avatar m tn I am using Flowmax (Tamsulosin) for about 3 months for enlarged prostate. I started noticing my Testicles hang lower now and not tight anymore since I have been using this medication.. Could this be from the use of Tamsulosin?

1831849 tn?1383228392 I saw my urologist he other day and she said that she now like Rapaflo (slidosin) more than Flomax (tamsulosin) for urinary hesitancy. Both are designed to address benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I know the primary audience is men, but there are women who take tamsulosin for urinary hesitancy. I was taking the max dose of tamsulosin, .8mg/day. I'm now taking 8mg Rapaflo/day. I'm told that it will take 4-5 days to see the full benefit if Rapaflo and I'm now on day 3.
