Overview Z Alfu 10mg Tablet PR

Alfuzosin 10mg tablets are alpha-blockers indicated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). They alleviate urinary symptoms such as hesitancy, but don't shrink the prostate. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and schedule. Take with food at the same time daily, swallowing whole; never crush or chew. Discontinuing treatment prematurely may exacerbate symptoms; complete the prescribed course for optimal results. Common side effects include upper respiratory infections, lightheadedness, headaches, nausea, stomach pain, and erectile dysfunction. Blurred vision or dizziness may occur; avoid driving if affected. Report any persistent or bothersome side effects immediately. Lifestyle adjustments can aid symptom management. Urinate promptly when the urge arises, but avoid straining. Limit evening and pre-sleep consumption of caffeine and alcohol. Before starting treatment, disclose all other medications and pre-existing conditions to your physician. Inform your ophthalmologist about alfuzosin use prior to cataract or glaucoma surgery. Patients with liver or kidney impairment require close monitoring and regular check-ups.
