Hello,
The constipation is quite common in paraplegic patients. It is related to the damage of your nervous system, not related to the enlarged prostate. I would recommend taking a laxative (lactulose ore psillium). I would not recommend taking any of the drugs mentioned by you as they are antibiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
