Alfusin T 5 Tablet ER

Product Overview

Alfusin T 5 Tablet ER is a combination medication that is prescribed for men suffering from an enlarged prostate gland, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps alleviate symptoms like difficulty in passing urine and the frequent urge to urinate.

The medicine can be taken with or without food, but it’s important to take it consistently at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your condition. For the best results, it’s essential not to miss doses, even if you start feeling better. Improvements may take a few weeks, so it’s important to keep taking it regularly.

Some common side effects include headache, dizziness, fatigue, and upper respiratory tract infections. These effects are more likely to occur when you first start the treatment. If these symptoms persist or cause concern, consult your healthcare provider.

This medicine is not suitable for women or children. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure or liver or kidney problems. Also, disclose any other medications you are taking, as interactions may occur. Your doctor may recommend precautionary measures, such as using a condom during intercourse if your partner is pregnant or may become pregnant. Frequent monitoring of your blood pressure may be advised. Alcohol should be avoided, as it can increase dizziness when combined with this medication.

Benefits of Alfusin T Tablet ER

When the prostate enlarges, it can interfere with urine flow, causing symptoms like a slow stream, frequent trips to the bathroom, or difficulty emptying the bladder completely. If untreated, the condition can lead to a total blockage of urine flow. Alfusin T 5 Tablet ER works to relax the muscles around the prostate and bladder, making urination easier and relieving symptoms. However, noticeable improvements might take some time. For optimal results, it’s important to take the medicine as directed by your healthcare provider.

How Alfusin T Tablet ER Works

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that leads to urinary difficulties. The tablet combines two active ingredients:

Alfuzosin, an alpha-blocker, helps by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urine flow.

Tadalafil, though its exact mechanism isn’t fully understood, is thought to work by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which helps alleviate symptoms of BPH.
