Why Are Any Antibiotics Less Effective On Me?
I ve suffered with prostititis/BPH for several years. Unfortunately, antibiotics are beginning to be less effective. I am currently taking Doxicycline, mobic, and Cialis for this condition and they seem to have become less effective. I have an old supply of Avodart with expiration date of 06/2014. Would it conflict with any of these medications I am currently taking?

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I do understand your pain and discomfort.
As per your history is concerned i want to clarify one point that if you take one category of antibiotics always it will be less effective very soon and bacteria will be resistance to the antibiotics.So time to time change of antibiotics is necessary.you can do culture and take specific antibiotics if earlier antibiotics is less effective for you.
You can take [AVODART]which contains [Dutasteride] and it prevents conversion of testosterone to [dihydrotestosterone] inside human body and this is involved in the development of BPH. As you mentioned the expire date on label is 06/2014 so it has already expired so you need to buy new medications for it.
If you can send your ultrasound report in detail then i can tell you clearly what type of surgical procedure is good for you and whether you need it or not.
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Wishing you all the best.
Thanks
