Have been on it since late Sept. with only a 2 week of not taking it. Am still getting up 3-4 times nightly. Also taking Proscar and under a urologist's care.

Comment:
My urinary flow has improved a little. Less frequency. However, within the first day of taking the drug, my ejaculation produces zero semen. This is very discouraging and I immediatley got off the drug. The side effect is not permanent.

Comment:
Within days, the drug improved urine flow ... reducing the number of trips to the restroom at night from 4 or 5 to one. After a year, the dosage had to be doubled to produce the same results. In the past 2-3 years, I have not had to increase my use of this drug. It upsets my stomach unless taken with food.
