Alfugress Tablet PR

Alfugress Tablet PR is a prolonged-release tablet containing alfuzosin hydrochloride at the strength shown on the pack, supplied by La Renon Healthcare. It belongs to the alpha-1 blocker class and is used to relieve urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate. Alfugress Tablet PR helps improve urine flow, reduce hesitancy, and ease the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. It is a prescription medicine for men with prostate-related urinary symptoms, not a treatment for prostate cancer.

How it works: Alfuzosin in Alfugress Tablet PR relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate and the bladder neck, which lowers resistance to urine flow. As a tablet designed for prolonged release, it is made to deliver the medicine gradually so the effect lasts through the day.

Because Alfugress Tablet PR is a prolonged-release tablet, it releases alfuzosin slowly over time rather than all at once. That can help provide steadier symptom control and may be chosen when a doctor wants a once-daily option that is easier on the stomach than an immediate-release form. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this product should be used only exactly as prescribed and not split, crushed, or chewed.

• Relief of BPH urinary symptoms
• Improving urine flow
• Reducing hesitancy or weak stream
• Decreasing incomplete bladder emptying

• Swallow Alfugress Tablet PR whole with water.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet because it is prolonged-release.
• Take it after the same meal each day, as food helps with absorption and lowers the risk of dizziness.
• Try to take it at the same time every day.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when starting treatment.
• If you miss a dose, take the next dose as scheduled; do not double up.

Each Alfugress Tablet PR contains alfuzosin at the strength printed on the label, and it is designed for once-daily use in adults when prescribed for BPH. The usual maximum is one tablet in 24 hours, but the exact dose and timing must be decided by the doctor based on your symptoms and medical history. Do not take extra tablets even if symptoms are not fully relieved, because the prolonged-release design is meant to work gradually.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
