Sober1,
Jalyn is a combination of Avodart and Flomax. Flomax is recommended to help the urinary tract through the radiation stress. Avodart reduces the DHT, (very powerful source of testosterone that Lupron doesn't reduce) and is often used as part of ADT treatment for high risk guys. A study called COMBINE showed that by combining the two drugs, each was more effective than using them separately. I stayed on Jalyn for the duration of my ADT, which was 36 months.
I suggest you talk to your docs about it. Jalyn isn't widely used, but each Avodart and Flomax are widely used. I had absolutely no negative side effects from the drugs and had no urinary issues during the radiation treatment. Hopefully that tells me the Flomax was useful. With my dx I wanted to use as much as possible and agreed that targeting the DHT was a good idea. Thus we used Jalyn.
