Frequently Asked Questions About Q-Urol
Q and A by our Consulting Medical Advisory Board
What is Q-Urol?
Q-Urol is a nutritional supplement formulated to maintain prostate health. Q-Urol contains a series of natural, clinically proven ingredients including quercetin, pollen extract, as well as papain/bromelain to aid digestion. The problem that researchers and clinicians experienced initially was that it takes unusually large and unrealistic amounts of these healthy foods on a regular basis to increase your body’s levels of these compounds to the amount that has demonstrated benefit from clinical studies. It is for this reason that maximum benefits are seen at the recommended doses in a time-release formWhy Q-Urol to address symptoms associated pelvic or genital discomfort and sexual and urinary dysfunction?
Few dietary supplements or ingredients compared to Q-Urol have as much clinical research and support from some of the top urologists in the world. Q-Urol is one of the most popular products in the world utilized with or without prescription medications for pelvic and prostate health support. For example, it is actually used by pharmacists, primary care physicians, urologists and other healthcare professionals in several countries outside of the United States.What indications support use of Q-Urol?
We suggest that physicians perform localizing urine cultures (and if possible expressed prostatic secretions) in all men prior to therapy. This test can be as simple as culturing a specimen of urine taken after the physician performs a prostate massage. We recommend that the physician sterilize any infection that is found in the prostate by using an appropriate antibiotic for at least four weeks. In men with extensive inflammation of the prostate, some physicians will often choose a course of antibiotics for patients if the patient has not been so treated before. Men with no evidence of active infection and those who have failed treatment with antibiotics are ideal candidates for the prostate supportive benefits of Q-Urol.How should you use Q-Urol?
We recommend 1-2 tablets taken twice per day with meals. If this is successful, many people can then take maintenance dose of fewer tablets per day. If the patient has no symptom improvement after 2-3 months, the product is unlikely to help him and other options should be discussed with a healthcare professional.How long will it take for Q-Urol to work?
Some people notice improvement after the first few doses. Others find that they must take it for two to three months to see maximum benefit.Are there any contraindications to using Q-Urol?
There is a theoretical risk that use of quercetin (which is found in Q-Urol) will interfere with the action of quinolone antibiotics (e.g. Cipro®, Floxin®, Levaquin®). Therefore, don't take these antibiotics with Q-Urol and consult your physician.What side effects have you seen?
Q-Urol is generally well tolerated by most users. Some users have reported mild nausea if taken on an empty stomach or slight tingling in the extremities shortly after their first dose.Q-Urol has helped me, but I still have urinary symptoms.
Some men find that Q-Urol is more effective for their pain than for their urinary symptoms. We have found that combining Q-Urol with an alpha blocker (e.g. FloMax®) is a helpful approach for these men.Can I combine Q-Urol with other natural products?
We don't recommend it. The product is specifically designed to be the most effective prostate supplement available and already contains the best natural compounds that have proven support for prostate health and integrity. There is no way of knowing how ingredients in other nutritional supplements or treatments will interact with Q-Urol. Even if the other products are considered "safe", they may interfere with the absorption of Q-Urol, or block its actions in other ways.Q-Urol has helped me feel better. Do I have to keep taking it?
We recommend staying on a maintenance dose of at least one tablet per day for an additional 2-3 months. Some users find they can stop taking the product without recurrence of symptoms while others find they need to stay on the maintenance or even full dose to remain symptom-free.Would you recommend taking all these ingredients separately?
Theoretically you should derive as much benefit from taking all these preparations separately, but unfortunately many brands do not have adequate batch-to-batch quality control such that one bottle works one month but another bottle doesn't work the next month. Other quercetin brands commonly combine quercetin with vitamin C. The high doses of vitamin C delivered with the quercetin can severely acidify the urine, making symptoms worse in some men. Most importantly, taking all these preparations separately will cost much more than taking only Q-Urol.Is there any published medical literature to support the use of Q-Urol?
