Do all alpha-blockers cause retrograde ejaculation or only Flomax (Harnal)? How do others compare in terms of effectiveness in improving urgency/flow/retention?
Thanks.

Flomax is famous for it. I think the others are OK . Most similar to Flomax without retro ejac is Xatral.

Age: 39. | Onset Age: 30. Onset Date: January 2002. Symptoms (back then): Supra-pubic pain, back pain, urinary frequency, urgency and difficulty, weak stream, nocturia, (and variously) chronic fatigue, IBS. Current symptoms: more frequent than normal, but pretty much under control. Current amelioration: Xatral 10mg, Mirtazapine 30mg. | Worsened By: Stress, binge drinking, strained bowel movements, bloating, sitting on hard surfaces, jogging, and regularly - THE WINTER!

Now that it's FDA approved and released in the USA, the brand name here is Uroxatral. Still Xatral in Canada and Europe.Richard.N wrote:Flomax is famous for it. I think the others are OK . Most similar to Flomax without retro ejac is Xatral.

Not sure if the two have been pitted against each other as yet. I would probably have gone for (Uro)Xatral if I had known about it when I started Flomax.
