Does Avodart Cause Swelling In Throat And Face With Dizziness?
Hi! I have recently been prescribed Avodart, and have experienced the symptoms of swelling in the face throat and neck. I have also experienced sharp pains in the neck for brief moments, headaches, dizziness and aching back and really sore hips. I understand that this can increase cancer risks! Am I having a allergic reaction? Are there safer alternatives?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Based on the symptoms mentioned, it is likely that the symptoms are due to an allergic reaction.
You would need to speak to your doctor to let him know about the issues that are occurring. He or she may suggest discontinuing the medication.
In addition the use of an anti histamine would help decrease the allergic response that you are experiencing.
Avodart has been shown to decrease the risk of prostate cancer.
I hope this helps
