Is 550mg Of Flanax A Sufficient Dosage To Take For Prostatitis?
Question: HI i have prostatitis, i called my doctor and told me to take 550mg flanax for 7 days and that should be enought for it, but for what i know about flanax think is not enought, what do you think?
Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
i read your question and i understand your concern. Prostatitis followed by a vasectomy 3 weeks ago is a common side effect and easily manageable and flanax ( naproxen ) may help with the pain. I am sure doctor has ruled out the need for any antibiotics or short term use of terazosin or tamsulosin. Do as directed by your doctor, use the med for a week and see if it helps. Once the vasectomy wound heals, prostatitis will respond itself. So i think flanax is enough for now.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
