Yes, Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR can be taken with vitamin D. No harmful effects or interactions have been reported when these are used together.

Q. Why does Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR cause dizziness?

Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR dilates the blood vessels and leads to the accumulation of blood in the extremities (ends of the arms and limbs). This restrains the proper flow of blood to the brain, thereby causing the blood pressure to fall with the sudden change in posture. As a result, the patient may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, spinning sensation, and vertigo.

Q. Why should I stop taking Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR before my cataract surgery?

Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR can cause floppy eye syndrome, in which the muscles of the iris become floppy, and the pupil constricts unexpectedly during cataract surgery. So, when the eye surgeon actually needs a dilated pupil, it will constrict and restrict the field of surgery, which can affect the surgical outcomes.

Q. Can Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR cause frequent urination?

No, Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR does not cause frequent urination. In fact, this medicine increases the urine flow and decreases the urge to urinate frequently, which is a symptom of benign enlargement of the prostate gland. This condition also leads to a weak stream while urinating, and hence, the patient is not able to empty the bladder. Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR is used to treat all such symptoms related to urine flow in patients with benign enlargement of the prostate gland.

Q. What are the long-term effects of taking Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR?

Usually, Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR does not cause any side effects in patients with benign enlargement of the prostate gland. However, long-term use of Veltam 0.2 Tablet MR may increase the chances of having infection, rhinitis, pain, and pharyngitis. Its long-term use may also cause abnormal ejaculation, blackouts, faintness, lightheadedness, dizziness, and decreased blood pressure.

Q. Apart from taking medicines, what should I do to manage my prostate symptoms?

Simple lifestyle changes can help you manage your symptoms better. Try to urinate when you first get the urge. However, take care not to strain or push to empty your bladder. Avoid drinking fluids (especially alcohol and caffeine) a few hours before bedtime or going out. Also, you should not take any other medicine without consulting your doctor because some medicines can increase your urge to urinate.
