when did proscar go generic

It does dramatically lower DHT, a sex hormone *supposedly* only needed during your growing years - but nobody has ever explained how a crucial sex hormone just suddenly becomes unimportant when you turn 18. Try generic minoxidil to keep your hair instead. No point in having decent hair if it kills your libido.

Finally I was having trouble urinating when I was in my late 50s and they did the roto rooter surgery on me. When I was my late 50s, my psa began increasing slightly from 1.5 to 2.00 then to 3.00 (approximately...I don't remember the exact numbers). Anyway when I was 63 they did a biopsy and I had prostate cancer. I had Proton Radiation treatments at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, California. I am now almost 73 and doing fine... psa is .

I had quite severe BHP and taking proscar and cardura. Had always difficulty urinating. I tried saw palmetto and it made me unable to urinate at all. I had to go to hospital.

Propose that your partner try Avodart. I think it really helps with prostate enlargement. That is what the television commercials say anyhow. Unfortunately it also can cause a large reduction in semen production. AND women wanting to become pregnant should NEVER touch the pill as it can cause birth defects if they are exposed at all to it. You can Google Avodart read all of this yourself from a variety of sites, including Avodart's manufacturer.

52 year old male. I have BPH and am on meds (Proscar and Cardura XL). My urine is dark yellow/gold and has a strong oder like yeast/wheat and foams a lot in the toilet. Cause for concern? Any ideas? Thanks for any insight.

observation if another biopsy done in 04/09 shows increase in positive cores to 3 or more or if any one core shows 50%+ positive for cancer? Also, is there any current opinion regarding use of Avodart or Proscar while in Watchful Waiting mode? I understand there would be a likely reduction in PSA, but that new PSA baseline be established and return to monitoring of PSA velocity. Not sure what, if any, benefit this would provide.

With the addition of Cytomel, I felt great and was able to eat a normal amount of food without gaining weight. When I changed insurance coverage, I had to use the generic form of T3. It didn't work like the Cytomel did. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? My labs were not different on the Cytomel, but I felt so much better. (Unfortunately, when I decided to go back on the Cytomel after a year on the generic, I had an allergic reaction to it so can't take it.

Hey Maddie! I'm glad to hear you're back on the brand name and feeling better!! This is one of those never ending debates (generic vs brand). Doctors are pretty resistant to believe that there is ANY difference and are quick to say "it's in your head", and that simply isn't ALWAYS the case. The truth is, there ARE differences. They are complicated and hard to explain, but they are there.

05/11 =1.3 11/10= 1.1 04/10= 1.1 04/09= 1.2 10/08= 1.1 01/08= 0.9 11/07= 0.8 07/07= 1.1 12/05= 0.8 01/05= 0.6 07/04= 0.7 10/02= 0.9 08/02= 0.9 05/98= 0.9 DRE -no nodules What is likelihood this rise represents Ca, and what is next suggestion? Thanks!

ve taken, both, generic levothyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3), as well, as brand name Synthroid and Cytomel. I did better on on generic levo than I did on Synthyroid... I've been taking generic liothyronine for over 5 yrs and have done just as well as I did on Cytomel. I don't think you'll have any difficulty, with generic T3, but if you do, you can always go back to Cytomel.

Please post your FT3, FT4 and TSH results with reference ranges. Your symptoms could be related to your FT3 and FT4 levels more than to generic vs. brand name. My endo also thinks that brand name drugs are more consistent. I go along with him since it's a small point to concede. I've been on generic, Synthroid and Levoxyl at one time or another, and, quite frankly, I see no difference whatsoever. Different brands have different fillers, and sometimes these cause problems.

s for benign prostate enlargement, and the results were rather mixed. Then Proscar came along and pretty much ended that debate. Saw Palmetto has faded into the background - it's possible you affected your DHT levels, but it will definitely only be temporary. I quit Proscar for that reason, best not to fool around with sex hormone levels, in my opinion.

There are two types of generic Fentanyl and at least one of you claims that one is superior to the other. Which one is the better of the two? My doctor is probably going to let me try the patches over the methadone and I just want to be sure. It amazes me how much knowledge we all have accumulated and outside of these boards so much of it is wasted. I'm so glad this place exists and I found it.

Wonder if someone can help, have all symptoms of throid storm except fever, went to ER five days ago or so, TSH 137 -DR changed RX from 125 mcg to 25 mcg gave me genric for levoxyl. Went to a MD 2 days ago,s I never had before, throat hurt, pressure behind eyes, dizzy "bad" it was doc I've never been to before.

Hey when did everybody's stomach bloatness "I made this word up lol don't judge me" go away?

what is the medication, is it proscar??

When my PCP first put me on generic I had terrible anxiety issues. As far as the headaches and weight gain these are symptoms of hypo so I too have these daily! After I saw and endocronologist he switched me to brand name Synthroid and increased my dose. I had nervous symptoms and headaches for the first week but they are diminishing. It might help to try name brand. Are you having any other symptoms? Did they run any other tests free T3, Free T4 and antibodies?

I now on Uromax tablets (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride 0.4 mg) which is causing me severe pain when ejaculating. Please advice if there is anything I can as I am still very young.

Unrination is really no problem anymore, but I have a problem with getting erections and now when I ejaculate I have no semon in me. Also have a runny nose mostly in the a.m. What is your advice and opinion for this problem. Thank you This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/225454'>use of Flomax</a>.

Prior to this he was advised to use Slo Niacin. When he began the lipitor, his dr. did not tell him to stop taking the Slo Niacin. He has been taking them together daily. Last week he experienced more frequent, loose bowels, but did not feel "sick"..This went away and he started to have muscle pain in the chest and upper back and his legs..that began 3 days ago. The muscle pain is preventing him from getting any sleep. he has missed the last 2 days of work.

IF not please suggest other medicine so that my father need not undergo TURP,more-so-over my father aged 76 years did not have any urinal complain before JUNE-2009.Is this urine retention because of any infection,why doctors are thinking of TURP,IS there no alternative for curing this urine retention without surgery.

No other noticable symptoms. It was very disconcerting so I closed each eye separately, and noticed that the spot did not move, and was there for both eyes. The spot was small at first and seemed to have a prismatic effect, although clear it blocked vision in the area. Eventually, the spot started expanding, and disappeared in about 20-30 minutes. After two days of thorough testing by the opthomologist, he found nothing.
