Yes, Flonase works really well for sinus type allergies, and is not an antihistamine. Don't know if it works for colds....

Try Chlorpheniramine Maleate. It works for me. It's an antihistamine.

I think all antihistamines make the problem worse. An antihistamine cocktail I was given for hives sent me in to acute urinary retention (seemingly for good) 6 years ago.

The label on the product should tell you not to use it if you have certain conditions that it lists.

I've never seen a warning on antihistamine package regarding BPH

Yeah...it's not always there and sometimes you have to dig deep in your research to find it; however, when my allergist missed the connection (even though he knew I had BPH), that mistake resulting in retention was very frustrating. A physician, at least should be aware of the connection.

THanks for the input and my urineologest and doctor don't tell you these things as I had to learn all my stuff on the internet. There are foods to eat and drink and if I did not find it I was a goner .They treat the symptoms and not the cause. They don't teach prevention at all.Stress makes me go a lot more and does any one have the same problem.
