Comment:
Currently taking Flomax also, and doctor suggested Avodart in addition. I chose to use beta sitosterol instead (with his permission). It does seem to improve the effectiveness of treatment with Flomax alone. I am currently taking 120 mg beta sitosterol b.i.d.

Comment:
After a month of taking this, my BPH symptoms have improved. Stronger urination most of the time, and less urgency to go, especially when sleeping. No side effects that I can perceive. This is the main ingredient in saw palmetto, except it has much more. Take this in place of saw palmetto.

taking 360 mg beta sitosterol has eliminated my middle of the night (usually around 3am) need to urinate and has improved my urine flow immensley. i can go 5 or 6 hours between bathroom trips which has improved my life during my busy daily activities. overall, dramatic improvement.
