Overview Founten 0.4mg Tablet

Alfadren 0.4mg tablets, an alpha-blocker, treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), easing urinary difficulties. This medication doesn't shrink the prostate. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and schedule. It can be taken with or without food, but 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 dizziness, backache, chest discomfort, ejaculatory dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation. Report any persistent or bothersome side effects immediately to your physician. Lifestyle adjustments can aid symptom management: void as soon as you feel the urge, avoiding straining. Limit evening and pre-sleep consumption of caffeine and alcohol. Inform your doctor about all other medications before starting this treatment. If undergoing eye surgery (cataracts or glaucoma), disclose your Alfadren use to your ophthalmologist. Patients with liver impairment require careful monitoring and regular check-ups.
