Suggest An Alternative Of Flomax
Is there over the counter or natural food or vitamins that can help release or open your bladder instead of using flowmax? I am on a folley cathader and was able to remove it before. This time I have had it in for two years. Would like to try and go back to using bottle. I m incomplete paralisis from neck down and on no medication.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Supplements containing Saw Palmetto can help increase the urine flow. However, there is no data available stating that Saw palmetto is as effective as Flomax.
Moreover, you should consult with your doctor before starting Saw Palmetto because Saw Palmetto can interact with medications and increase bleeding risk.
Hope this answers your question
