Alfusin 10 mg Tablet

Alfusin 10 mg Tablet contains 10 mg of alfuzosin in each tablet. It is an alpha-1 blocker used to help relieve urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate. Alfusin 10 mg Tablet helps reduce weak stream, trouble starting urination, and the feeling that the bladder does not empty fully.

How it works: Alfuzosin relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and the bladder neck, which makes it easier for urine to flow. As a tablet, Alfusin 10 mg provides a steady release of medicine to help improve urinary symptoms over time.

Alfusin 10 mg Tablet is the standard extended-release strength used for men who have already been assessed by a doctor for BPH symptom control. Because it is a 10 mg tablet, it is not a starter-strength product for self-adjusting doses; the doctor chooses it when this once-daily strength is appropriate and better suited than lower-dose options used in some treatment plans.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Weak urine stream
• Trouble starting urination
• Urinary hesitancy

• Swallow the Alfusin 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it after the same meal each day, as food helps the tablet absorb properly and lowers the chance of side effects.

• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when first starting treatment, because it can lower blood pressure.
• Do not take this tablet on an empty stomach unless your prescriber specifically tells you to do so.

Each Alfusin 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of alfuzosin. In many patients, it is taken once daily after the same meal, and the prescriber decides the exact schedule based on symptoms, age, other medicines, and blood pressure. Do not take more than the prescribed amount; for this strength, the usual maximum is one 10 mg tablet per day unless a doctor instructs otherwise.

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