Frequent Urination, Psa 1.8, Detected Enlarged Prostate. On Medication For For BP And Enlarged Prostate. Can Dosage Of Losartan Be Reduced?
I presently take 100/25 losartan and bystolic 25 for BP and tamoslin for enlarged prostate.
My BP runs about 110/64 in the evening after exercise. I would like to reduce the dosage of Losartan as I seem to urinate a lot.
Also, the prostate drug doesn't seem to work well. I still have difficulty urinating. My psa is 1.8 and the procto exam shows that I do have an enlarged prostate. It seems the prostate thing all happened about the time I started taking BP meds.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Losartan , bystolic all are lipid lowering and anti hypertensive & diuretics .
There is a misconception in your mind that B P medicines are responsible for enlarged process.
I want to make very clear that prostate enlargement is absolutely a normal process in men as age advances.
Tamsulosin reduces the size of prostate.
Beside this you can use Capsule prostina 2-2-2 ( 2 three times a day).
This is an Ayurvedic medicine & in our day to day practice we use it with success .
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help. Good luck.
