He was then prescribed Doxycycline 200mg twice a day and Cardura 1mg daily for another month. However, after 4 days, my father developed serious nausea and vomiting and was hospitalized. A gastroscopy was performed and subsequently found to be H Pylori positive. When there is mild elevation of the PSA it could either be due to hypertrophy, prostatitis or early cancer. Physicians will often treat men for prostatitis and if there is a subsequent drop in PSA, it obviates further testing including biopsy.
Doxycycline certainly can cause nausea, ofloxacin less commonly so.
If he is getting up several times or having trouble with a decreased stream then Cardura or Hytrin would be useful. Back to Drug InfoNet Home Page. Send your impressions, comments, thoughts, etc. Inc. All rights reserved.
