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
