Is there any alternative medication for Avodart as there seems to be side effects for this medication?

I am 63 yrs old and my Dr. prescribed Avodart, but after reading the side affects I really think there should be something else. My wife and I both enjoy a good sex life and I don t want to change that, also I already have large breast for a man and don t want ay more

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic! Avodart is used to decrease the prostate size by 40% after 3-6 months of treatment. If you have voiding complaints like urinary frequency, weak stream and feeling of inadequate void then you may benefit from an alpha blocker therapy which doesn't cause decrease in libido and gynecomastia. I usually prescribe my patients tamsulosin but you may need to get a prescription for this drug. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at:   I would gladly help you.  Best wishes.Regards,  Manuel C. See IV, M.D. DPBU FPUA
