Comment:
My doctor recommended I take this stuff, along with Avodart for enlarged prostate treatment. After 2 days I stopped taking them and will never go back. Severe dizziness, sinus congestion, insomnia, no sex drive were among many side affects experienced. All things considered I will just live with frequent urination at night. Anything is better than having to cope with the side affects.
