Overview Alfun Tablet PR

Alfun Tablet PR, an alpha-blocker, treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), easing urinary difficulties. It doesn't shrink the prostate. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and schedule. Take it with food, consistently at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew. Discontinuing treatment prematurely may worsen symptoms; complete the prescribed course for optimal results. Common side effects include upper respiratory infections, lightheadedness, headaches, nausea, stomach pain, and erectile dysfunction. Blurred vision or dizziness can occur; avoid driving while taking this medication. Report any persistent or bothersome side effects immediately to your physician. Lifestyle adjustments can aid symptom management: void as soon as you feel the need, but avoid straining. Limit evening and pre-sleep consumption of caffeine and alcohol. Inform your doctor of all other medications before starting Alfun Tablet PR. If cataract or glaucoma surgery is planned, notify your ophthalmologist of your medication use. Patients with liver or kidney impairment should exercise caution and undergo regular monitoring as directed by their doctor.
