Overview Alfustat 10mg Tablet

Ten-milligram Alfustat tablets, an alpha-blocker, treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), easing urination difficulties. This medication doesn't shrink the prostate. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and schedule. Take Alfustat with food at the same time each day, swallowing it whole. Discontinuing the medication prematurely may worsen symptoms; complete the prescribed course for optimal results. Common side effects include upper respiratory infections, dizziness, headache, nausea, stomach pain, and erectile dysfunction. Blurred vision or dizziness can occur; avoid driving if affected. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician immediately. Lifestyle modifications can aid symptom management: void when you feel the urge, avoid straining, and limit evening caffeine and alcohol consumption. Inform your doctor about all other medications before starting Alfustat treatment. Disclose Alfustat use to your ophthalmologist before cataract or glaucoma surgery. Individuals with liver or kidney impairment should exercise caution and maintain regular checkups as directed by their physician.
