Misleading text[edit]

This medicine is for treatment of BPH, that is, to control frequency of urination, especially at night, due to the effects of an enlarged prostate constricting the neck of the bladder. The text in this article makes no mention of this, and instead highlights its effect on the release of semen, and its possibilities as a male contraceptive! That's irresponsible reporting! The article needs fixing. JohnClarknew (talk) 19:15, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article also reads like a doctor's handbook of medicines, i.e. not for laymen, and therefore unsuitable as an encyclopedia article.
