Overview Prolosin 0.40mg Tablet

Alfuzosin 0.40mg tablets, an alpha-blocker, treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by easing urinary symptoms such as hesitancy. Importantly, it doesn't shrink the prostate gland. Take Alfuzosin 0.40mg exactly as prescribed, 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 lightheadedness, backache, chest discomfort, altered ejaculation, and retrograde ejaculation. Report any persistent or bothersome side effects promptly to your physician. Lifestyle modifications can aid symptom management: void as soon as you feel the urge, but avoid straining. Limit evening and pre-sleep consumption of caffeine and alcohol. Always disclose all other medications to your doctor before starting Alfuzosin. Inform your ophthalmologist about Alfuzosin use prior to any cataract or glaucoma surgery. Patients with liver impairment require close monitoring and regular check-ups as directed by their doctor.
