Anyone else experience stomach pain and /or testicular pain as a side effect of Rapaflo? Anyone tried taking it every other day?

    Yes.  In addition to the normal side effects (stuffy nose, headache)  I had severe cramping in my inestinal area.   Tried taking it every other day and it helped a little.  Rapaflo is a strong drug.

      Sounds as if you are no longer on the drug. Can you advise what you are doing, what happened, etc? Thanks in advance for any help on this

      Correct.  I am no longer taking it.  I take uroxatrol.  I have no side effects from it but it does not work as well as Rapaflo.  I would say uroxatrol is a stop gap until I can have a mininally invasive procedure like Urolift, iTind or PAE.  My prostate is in the small side (35-40 grams) but it is squeezing my bladder neck.  I really like the idea of iTind.  Just don't know when or if it will be approved.

      Can you see if there are any trials on it I did print a artical on it it seams like it would work well.  It is put in for 5 days and it makes new groves in the prostate.  Good luck  Ken  Ps I had a urolift done 2014 All is good

    I was on that a few years ago.  I did get some groin pain and it also made my penis go numb.  Stop it.   Take care  Ken
