The Dutasteride/Tamulson is prescribed for an enlarged prostrate gland. I used to take "Jayln" for that problem. Is there an alternative medication that would treat this problem ,without the same side affects.

Hi,

Yes, there are several other medicines like Alfuzosin, Terazosin, Doxazosin, Finasteride.

However, you should consult a Urologist for a better opinion on this.He will be a better specialist to tell that which of these should be taken in consideration with the above side effects because he sees prostate cases almost everyday.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
