Q:

I am using another prescription drug for my prostate problem, which is RAPAFLO 8 mg. Please advise whetehr or not I can take it with finasteride that was prescribed for my hair loss problem.

Thanks,

A:

Rapaflo (Generic Name: silodosin) is in a group of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers. Silodosin helps relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, and by doing that makes urination easier.  It does not help shrink prostate as finasteride (Propecia) does.  You can take finasteride (Propecia) in combination with Rapaflo and there should be no interaction between the two.
