Overview Geriflo-D Tablet SR

Prostate-Rx SR combines two active ingredients offering dual-action relief for men experiencing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This medication alleviates urinary symptoms like frequent urination and difficulty voiding. It does not prevent prostate cancer. Prostate-Rx SR can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing is crucial. Dosage is determined by your physician. For optimal symptom management, maintain regular intake, even if feeling well; noticeable improvement may take up to a month. Report any lack of improvement or worsening symptoms after four weeks. Common side effects include erectile dysfunction, reduced sex drive, breast tenderness, and ejaculatory problems. Consult your doctor if these persist or are concerning. Dizziness and drowsiness are also possible, particularly initially. Your doctor prescribed this medication because the benefits outweigh the potential risks. Prostate-Rx SR is contraindicated for women and children. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions such as low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, as this may affect suitability. Potential drug interactions exist; disclose all current medications. Condom use during sex is advised if your partner is or may be pregnant. Regular blood pressure monitoring may be recommended. Alcohol consumption should be avoided due to increased dizziness risk.
