Overview Protam 200mg Tablet MR

Alfuzosin 200mg Modified-Release tablets are an alpha-blocker indicated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptom relief. This medication eases urinary difficulties but doesn't shrink the prostate. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and regimen. 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, so complete the prescribed course for optimal results. Common side effects include lightheadedness, backache, chest discomfort, ejaculatory dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation. Report any persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician immediately. Lifestyle adjustments can aid symptom management. Void your bladder promptly when you feel the urge, but avoid straining. Limit evening and pre-sleep consumption of caffeine and alcohol. Before starting treatment, disclose all other medications and health conditions to your doctor. If cataract or glaucoma surgery is planned, inform your ophthalmologist about your alfuzosin use. Patients with hepatic impairment should exercise caution, undergoing regular monitoring as directed by their physician.
