Overview Alfustat D 10mg/0.5mg Tablet

Prostaduo 10mg/0.5mg tablets combine two active ingredients to alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult males. This medication targets urinary difficulties, such as frequent urination or weak stream, but does not prevent prostate cancer. Consistent daily use, immediately following the same meal, is crucial. Swallow tablets whole; do not crush or chew. Dosage is determined by your physician. Regular intake, even when feeling well, maximizes therapeutic benefit. Symptom improvement may take up to four weeks; continue treatment as prescribed. 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 or drowsiness, particularly at treatment initiation, may occur. The prescribed benefits outweigh potential risks. This medication is contraindicated for women and children. Individuals with low blood pressure, liver, or kidney disease should inform their physician before commencing treatment. Potential drug interactions exist; disclose all medications to your doctor. Condom use and regular blood pressure monitoring may be recommended. Discuss alcohol consumption with your healthcare provider.
