Hi dinogius,

The common list of side effects it;
COMMON - Feeling like you might pass out, swelling in your hands or feet, pain in the testicles, impotence, loss of interest in sex, or trouble having an orgasm, abnormal ejaculation, swelling or tenderness in your breasts, dizziness, weakness, headache, runny nose, skin rash.
SERIOUS (seek medical attention immediately if any of these are experienced): hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you notice any breast lumps, pain, nipple discharge, or other breast changes. These may be signs of male breast cancer.

Diarrhoea is common with this and the other drugs like Hytrin, Floxmax Proscar etc...

Many men have found taking natural supplements like saw palmetto, beta-Sitosterol, pygreum etc are used extensively in Europe for treating prostate problems. More than 50% of physicans actually PREFER them as they don't have the side effects of the drugs and can be just as effective.

At the end of the day, every male body responds differently, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Hope that helps...
