Alfuzosin

Alfuzosin tablets are a prescription alpha blocker used to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. When the prostate enlarges, it can press on the urethra and restrict urine flow, leading to a weak stream, difficulty starting urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.

Alfuzosin tablets work by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the bladder neck. This improves urinary flow, reduces urine retention, and makes daily urination more comfortable, especially at night. You can buy Alfuzosin tablets online from Pharmacy Planet after completing a short online consultation.

Alfuzosin tablets are an alpha blocker medicine used to treat moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. They contain alfuzosin hydrochloride, which targets alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the prostate and lower urinary tract. Alfuzosin tablets are commonly prescribed to men who experience difficulty urinating due to prostate enlargement but do not require surgery.

Common symptoms Alfuzosin tablets treat include:

• Weak or slow urine stream.
• Difficulty starting urination.
• Frequent urination, especially at night.
• Feeling that the bladder does not empty fully.
• Urine retention and hesitancy.

Alfuzosin tablets work by relaxing the muscles in the prostate area that can block the flow of urine. In men with an enlarged prostate, these muscles stay too tight, making it harder to pass urine. Alfuzosin tablets block alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the prostate, bladder neck, and urethra. These receptors normally cause the muscles in this area to tighten. Blocking them relaxes the smooth muscles around the prostate and bladder outlet, widens the urinary channel and reduces resistance to urine flow. This improves bladder emptying and reduces pressure on the bladder without shrinking the prostate.

Always take Alfuzosin tablets exactly as prescribed by your pharmacist.

• Take one prolonged-release tablet once daily.
• Take the tablet immediately after the same meal each day.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
• Take the first dose in the evening before bedtime.

The usual dose for adults, men over 65, and those with mild to moderate kidney problems is 10 mg once daily. If you take more than prescribed, you may experience a sudden drop in blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting — sit or lie down immediately and contact a prescriber if symptoms continue. If you forget a dose, take the next dose at your usual time. Do not take a double dose.

Alfuzosin tablets may be suitable for:

• Men with urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia.
• Men experiencing weak flow, hesitancy, or urine retention.
• Men looking to improve urinary flow without prostate surgery.

Alfuzosin tablets are not suitable for:

• Women or anyone under 18 years of age.
• Anyone allergic to alfuzosin or tablet ingredients.
• Men with severe liver disease.
• Men with a history of fainting related to low blood pressure.

Alfuzosin tablets can interact with medicines for high blood pressure, other alpha blockers, medicines for heart rhythm problems, antifungal medicines such as ketoconazole, and antibiotics such as clarithromycin. Always disclose your full medication list during consultation.

Like all medicines, Alfuzosin tablets can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.

Common Side Effects:

• Dizziness or fainting, headache, stomach discomfort or indigestion, nausea, tiredness or weakness

Uncommon Side Effects:

• Drowsiness or vertigo, sudden drop in blood pressure when standing, fast heartbeat, runny nose, diarrhoea or vomiting, dry mouth, skin rash or itching, ankle/leg swelling, chest pain

Stop taking and seek urgent medical help if you experience chest pain, severe dizziness, breathing difficulty, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
