Hello
Thanks for query .

You have been prescribed Veltam 0.4 mg once daily .

You have not mentioned the reason for it being prescribed to you .
May be you are facing problem of pain in abdomen due to stone in ureter .

Veltam is alpha blocker that relaxes smooth muscles in bladder neck,prostate and ureter and is generally prescribed for obstructive voiding symptoms ,poor urinary stream or to hep to pas down the stone in ureter .Since it causes relaxation of bladder neck, during ejaculation it causes semen to enter in bladder instead of moving forward in to urethra what is called as Retrograde Ejaculation .

This retrograde ejaculation is the cause for low volume of semen during ejaculation .

However the problem getes resolved after you stop taking it .
