Brief Answer:
It doesn't raise PSA

Detailed Answer:


Hi,

Doxy succinate is a anticholinergic medication and it causes urinary retention due to inhibition of smooth urinary muscles. Such urine retention would worsen symptoms caused by previous prostate hypertrophy. SO this is a reason why it shouldn't be taken. it would simply worsen symptoms and urination difficulties. It wont affect prostate enlargement or PSA level. Wish you good health.
