Alfusin 10mg

Alfusin 10mg – Alfuzosin Hydrochloride Tablets

WHAT IS THIS MEDICATION FOR?
Alfusin 10mg is used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. It helps relieve urinary difficulties such as frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Alfusin contains Alfuzosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker. It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, allowing urine to flow more easily and reducing BPH symptoms.

HOW TO USE?
Take one tablet daily after the same meal, usually once a day. Swallow whole with water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.

SIDE EFFECTS
Common: Dizziness, headache, tiredness, low blood pressure (especially when standing), nasal congestion
Rare: Fainting, irregular heartbeat, or allergic reactions
Report any severe or persistent side effects to your doctor.

WHAT TO DO IF I MISS A DOSE?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, only if within 12 hours. If more than 12 hours have passed, skip it and take the next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose.
