Overview Alfoo-D Tablet SR

Prostaduo SR is a dual-action medication designed for adult males with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It alleviates urinary symptoms like frequent urination and hesitancy. Importantly, it does not prevent prostate cancer. Consistent daily dosing, immediately following the same meal, is crucial. Swallow tablets whole; do not crush or chew. Dosage is determined by your physician. Regular use, even when feeling well, maximizes therapeutic effect. Symptom improvement may take up to four weeks; continued use is advised. Report any lack of improvement or worsening symptoms after four weeks. Common side effects include reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and breast tenderness/enlargement. Consult your doctor if these persist or are concerning. Dizziness and drowsiness are also possible, particularly initially. Your physician prescribed this medication because its benefits outweigh potential risks. Prostaduo SR is contraindicated in women and children. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions such as low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, as this may influence suitability. Interaction with other medications is possible; disclose all current medications. Condom use during sexual activity and regular blood pressure monitoring may be recommended. Discuss alcohol consumption with your healthcare provider.
