Hi,

Rapilif is commonly prescribed to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is common side effects include:
dizziness
diarrhea
postural hypotension
headache
retrograde ejaculation (occurs when semen enters the bladder instead of out the tip of the penis)
common cold
stuffy nose and
priapism (prolonged erection of penis)

Based on the history you seem to have developed retrograde ejaculation and priapism. You should stop taking this medication and consult your treating doctor for an alternate effective but a safer medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
