Question re Propecia and Sperm Count. I take Flomax and Finasteride. Side effects are reduced libido and ejaculation. I noticed if I discontinue taking the pills, I regain libido and ejaculation volume in 3 – 4 days, although I had only been on these pills for three weeks. My question is, can I periodically take a “prescription holiday” and then resume medication after, say a week without risk of return of BPH? I.E. will the long term benefits of this prescription program remain in effect if I take periodic holidays?
I am not a urologist, but I suspect that when the “flow problem” has resolved, you might be able to stop if for a week, but I would first check with your prescribing doctor for a more definitive answer.
