Alfoo 10mg Tablet PR

Product overview
Alfoo 10mg Tablet PR belongs to the group of medicines known as alpha-adrenergic blockers. It is mainly prescribed for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, a condition where the prostate gland becomes enlarged. By relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder region, it helps ease problems like difficulty in passing urine, though it does not shrink the gland itself.

This tablet is best taken along with meals and preferably at the same time every day. Swallow it whole without chewing or crushing. The dosage is determined by your healthcare provider, and stopping the medicine suddenly without medical advice may worsen the condition. For the treatment to work effectively, the full course must be completed.

Possible effects
Some people may experience dizziness, headache, abdominal discomfort, nausea, impotence, or mild infections affecting the upper respiratory tract. Blurred vision and lightheadedness are also reported, so it is better to avoid driving or operating machinery if such effects occur. If any reaction becomes troublesome or persistent, a doctor’s advice is necessary.

Helpful measures alongside treatment
Lifestyle adjustments can support the medicine’s benefits. Passing urine as soon as the urge arises, avoiding unnecessary straining, and limiting caffeinated or alcoholic drinks in the evening can make symptoms easier to manage.

Precautions before use
Let your doctor know about any ongoing medication or other health problems before starting therapy. Patients with liver or kidney concerns should be monitored regularly. If you are planning cataract or glaucoma surgery, the eye specialist must be informed about your usage of this medicine. Women and children should not use this drug.

Why it is prescribed
When the prostate becomes larger, it can narrow the urinary passage, leading to slow flow, frequent visits to the toilet, and a sense of incomplete emptying. If untreated, the flow may even stop completely. Alfoo 10mg Tablet PR reduces this obstruction by relaxing the muscular wall of the bladder outlet and prostate, thus easing urination. It may take a few months to experience maximum benefit.

Commonly noted reactions
Headache, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, impotence, and mild respiratory infection. Most of these are temporary and disappear once the body adjusts.

Directions for use
Follow your doctor’s instructions or the guidance on the package. Always take it with food and swallow it whole.

How it works
This medicine blocks certain alpha receptors, which results in muscle relaxation at the bladder exit and prostate region. This action allows urine to flow more freely.

Safety information
• Combining with alcohol may increase sleepiness or dizziness, so avoid alcohol use.
• Not meant for women during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• May cause drowsiness or blurred vision; driving is unsafe if these occur.
• People with kidney or liver issues may require dose adjustments; those with moderate to severe liver disease are usually advised not to use it.

If a dose is forgotten
Take it as soon as you remember. If the next scheduled dose is close, skip the missed one and continue normally. Never double the amount to make up for a forgotten dose.
