    Take care............... As I understand it Flowmaxtra, its other name, is for enlarged prostate and not for elevated PSA. (Cancer). You require another tablet for PSA reduction and under the care of a doctor, not to do just for yourself. I have been on Flowmaxtra since 2014 and have had radiation for the Prostate and been on injections (Elegard) and pills (Cosudex and going to Anandron) now it is again increasing. Treatment started 2015. PSA going up and down, best seen was 0.4, worst was 93 and now I am elevating again to 58., Now am on Zytiga assisted with Cortisone to reduce tumors confirmed by PET scans because it has now gone into some bones. Best of luck to all who has this. Saw a friend die from it in Dumaguete miserably a few years ago, he left it untreated and when it took hold it went off like a rocket. Take care. Please. (I am 81 by the way, maybe someone up there thinks I habe been arounds long enough but trying like hell, with the doctors help, to prove him wrong.)

    It's a bit OT, so don't take it seriously, so far I am using Tamsulosin, but when switching from sin to another sin I rather do that not on medicine terms, there are much better other options to do so and be sinful.
