Now feeling the constant urge to urinate even though he evacuates throughout the day and night.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The dose can be increased to a maximum of 0.8mg in a day. However, I would recommend you to go to a surgeon for urine analysis, urine culture, PSA, ultrasonography, and RFT before you increase the dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
