As we will shortly be in hay fever season I purchased my regular allergy tablets (Piriteze). On reading the leaflet it states that if you have an enlarged prostate it may increase the risk of having difficulty passing water. Does anyone else suffer from hay fever, if so what medication do you take. I’m due for my radiotherapy next month so do not want to start sneezing before or during my sessions.
Thanks in advance

Hi Bill, I stopped taking them just before I started my hormone therapy.
I have just spoken to my local pharmacist & she advised not to take antihistamines whilst having treatment. She did say to contact my doctor who should be able to prescribe another medication to combat the issue.
My profile does have all my progress so far.
