T K Lawson RPhT Clayton, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Jun 18, 2011 Flomax is a Alpha 2 blocker related exactly to Proscar, Propecia, and the chemical name is finasteride. It reduces the Amnt, of DHT or dihydrotestosterone. The inhibition of ejactulate is lowered gonanatropin or testosterone.
boysdad Glasgow, UK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 Jun 29, 2011 No, I don't think that's right. Flomax is Tamsulosin, and targets muscles in the prostate. Finasteride is a different thing and affects the hormone system; they believe both drugs in combination produce a superior solution to the bph symptoms. However, I am starting on tamsulosin hoping I won't need the finasteride; the adverse effects of this second drug, i.e. the possibility of reduced sexual potency, are highish. All this is available on the internet.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Sagittarius

Relationships have been going through through testing times since the Solar Eclipse at last month's New Moon in Gemini on May 20. Events may force you to reevaluate the state of a partnership. You may even decide that you need to make some major adjustments if things are to carry on as you would like. During the coming fortnight leading up to the rare second New Moon in Gemini, this may feel like a crisis, but that doesn't mean you should abandon all hope or throw out the baby with the bathwater.
