A member asked:
I head that flomax and avodart taken together increase the risk of heart failure. i am on both for 5 years because of bph. should i be worried?

Doubtful: There is no compelling evidence that this common combination of medications causes heart failure. Millions of men take both of these drugs together

I don't think so: Epidemiologic studies generate all kinds of junk. There's no plausible mechanism and I suspect that these folks just go to the doctor more and get their CHF diagnosed
