Alfusin Tablet PR

Product Overview

Alfusin Tablet PR is an alpha-adrenergic blocker used to manage benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland enlarges. It helps ease symptoms such as difficulty in urinating and frequent urges to use the bathroom. However, it does not shrink the prostate gland itself.

The medication should be taken as directed by your doctor, typically with food, and at the same time each day for best results. The tablet must be swallowed whole without crushing or chewing. Do not stop the treatment without consulting your healthcare provider, as doing so may worsen your condition. Completing the prescribed course of treatment ensures the best possible outcome.

Common side effects include dizziness, headache, nausea, abdominal discomfort, impotence, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some people may also experience blurry vision or feel lightheaded. It is recommended not to drive if these symptoms occur. If you notice persistent or troubling side effects, consult your doctor promptly.

Adopting simple lifestyle habits can also help you manage your symptoms more effectively. For example, go to the bathroom as soon as you feel the urge but avoid straining. It is helpful to limit caffeine and alcohol intake, especially in the evening hours.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you are currently taking any other medications. Additionally, if you plan to undergo eye surgery for cataracts or glaucoma, discuss your Alfusin Tablet PR use with your ophthalmologist. Patients with kidney or liver disorders should exercise caution and undergo regular check-ups as recommended by their healthcare provider.

Benefits of Alfusin Tablet PR

An enlarged prostate can interfere with normal urine flow, leading to discomfort, frequent trips to the bathroom, and slow urine passage. If left untreated, it may result in complete blockage of the urinary tract. Alfusin Tablet PR relaxes the muscles surrounding the prostate and bladder, allowing for easier urination and quicker symptom relief. Although some people may notice improvements early on, full benefits may take up to six months. It is important to adhere to the prescribed regimen for optimal results.
