Are There Any Side Effects Of Prolonged Use Of Flotral 10 Mg For Bph Treatment?

I am suffering from BPH. I am taking treatment from an urologist. He has prescribed flotral 10 mg. I am taking the tablet since April 2011. If I stop taking this talbet, I feel inconvenience in passing urine. Therefore kindly inform me whether there are any side effects in long term use of tablet flotral 10 mg ?.

Hi,

Flortal-10 is an alpha-adrenergic commonly prescribed to improve urination in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Generally, it is well tolerated by most of our patients however on long term use it may cause nasal congestion, postural hypotension (fainting or lightheadedness when getting up from a lying or sitting position), increased heart beats, and painful or prolonged erection of the penis. You must inform your urologist if you develop these side effects.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
