Alfuzosin vs Silodosin
 | Alfuzosin |  | Silodosin |  |
| This medication is used to treat the symptoms of a prostate gland condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlarged prostate). It is an alpha blocker that works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder neck and prostate. Relaxing these muscles leads to relief of symptoms of BPH such as the feeling of needing to urinate frequently or urgently, difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate during the middle of the night. This medication should not be used to treat high blood pressure. | This medication is used to treat the symptoms of a prostate gland condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as an enlarged prostate).

Reviews
| Add Alfuzosin review I have used this medication for quite some time. It seems to have taken care of my problems with my prostate and kidney stones. I have been on this drug for 15 months. I feel less lightheaded than with Flomax. Recently, my pharmacist switched to another lab and I have far less episodes of lightheadedness. My physician recommended using more salt as a way to raise my BP. I have low BP because I have been an athlete since age 14; my current resting pulse is 50. | Add Silodosin review I BELIEVE THIS MED CAUSES MY HEART TO BEAT EXCEPTIONALY HARD..NOT RAPID..JUST A HARD PUMP THAT I CAN FEEL BEATING IN MY CHEST. I BELIEVE IT WEAKENS THE HEART MUSCLE AND MAKES THE HEART WORK HARDER.. no seminal fluid after 3 does. no one told me that was aside effect can't find any info will ask for a different drug if possible but it does imnprove unrine flow and sleeping through the night I had improved flow for a few weeks ,dry orgasms and eventually no orgasm,no morning erection and severe constipation.switched to flomax so far acomplete turnaround | |||
