Have mild prostate enlargement. Prescribed Veltam. Have abdominal pain. Reason?
Patient: I am a 56 year old male recently diagonsed with Milld Prostate Enlargement. The PSA was 1.9 and prostate weighed 33 g. I have been prescribed Veltam 0.4. I am sometime experiencing abdominal pain . what could be the reason ? I am on this medicine since last one month. This is apart from my regular medication for blood pressure and cholesterol . Doctor: Hello Thank you for getting in touch with us. As I see, you have been diagnosed with mild prostate enlargement. It should also be noted that your PSA levels are normal at the moment. Veltam is a commonly used drug in the elderly population with prostate problems and is highly effective in them. Regular use of this medicine leads to significant improvement in the condition of the patient. Abdominal pain is mostly not associated with Veltam and you need to get it examined to find out the real cause. You should try to keep your BP and cholesterol in control and exercise on a regular basis. Hope this helped Regards Dr. Gagandeep Dhillon
