I have been put on a Avodart capsules to see whether they will be effective in shrinking my prostate. I am experiencing an almost constant and unrelieved need to pee. How long was it before people started to notice an improvement of this symptom after taking Dutasteride?

Dutasteride may take 6 months to a year to work. In the meantime, ask for alpha blockers like Doxazosin and it's cousins. Avoid flomax (tamsulosin) because it has highest risk for floppy iris syndrome. Most people take both dutasteride (or finasteride) with an alpha blocker. I tried Cialis and it didn't help but it seems to help some people. Cialis can also be expensive. Hank

The uro don't tell you about floppy iris either. They give you pills and send you on your merry way.
