Question : how long must you take Avodart before you see your prostrate shrink

Answered by Dr. Klarida Papaqako (21 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
More then 6 months

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM,

Regarding your questions, trials have shown that more then 6 months of therapy with Avodart may be required before improvement.

Meanwhile, a decrease in the volume of ejaculate may occur but this does not appear to interfere with normal sexual function. Anyway, there is also a small possibility of impotence and decreased libido.

Hope I have answered your question and this is helpful for you.
Let me know if you have further queries.

Take care,
Dr. Papaqako
