Flofil 10 mg Tablet PR

Flofil 10 mg Tablet PR is a prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of alfuzosin in each prolonged-release tablet. It belongs to the alpha-1 blocker class and is used to help relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). By easing urine flow, Flofil 10 mg Tablet PR can help with symptoms such as weak stream, trouble starting urination, and frequent or urgent urination. It is made by Fawn Incorporation and comes as a pack of 10 tablets.

How it works: Alfuzosin in Flofil 10 mg Tablet PR relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and the bladder neck, which makes it easier for urine to pass. The prolonged-release tablet is designed to release the medicine gradually after swallowing, helping maintain symptom relief through the day.

Flofil 10 mg Tablet PR is the single available strength and formulation for this product, so there are no lower or higher sibling strengths in this brand line to compare it with. Because it is a prolonged-release 10 mg tablet, it is designed for once-daily use and is not meant to be split, crushed, or chewed; a clinician may choose this form when a steady, all-day effect is desired for BPH symptoms.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptom relief
• Weak urine stream
• Difficulty starting urination
• Urinary urgency or frequency
• Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying

• Swallow Flofil 10 mg Tablet PR whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it after the same meal each day, since food helps the prolonged-release tablet work properly and lowers the chance of side effects.
• Do not take it on an empty stomach.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not take extra tablets if symptoms are still bothersome.
• If you miss a dose, take the next dose at the usual time with a meal; do not double up.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when first starting treatment, to reduce dizziness.

Each Flofil 10 mg Tablet PR contains 10 mg of alfuzosin and is intended for once-daily dosing. The doctor decides whether this is the right dose for you based on your symptoms and other health factors; do not take more than 10 mg in 24 hours unless your prescriber specifically instructs otherwise. This strength is the full tablet dose for this product, so it should be used exactly as directed and not adjusted by splitting the tablet.

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