Olfura 10 mg Tablet PR

Olfura 10 mg Tablet PR is an oral 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 treat urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate. By relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, it can help improve urine flow and reduce trouble with urination. Olfura 10 mg Tablet PR is not a treatment for prostate cancer.

How it works: Alfuzosin relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate and the bladder outlet, which lowers resistance to urine flow. As a prolonged-release tablet, Olfura 10 mg Tablet PR is formulated to give a steady effect over the day after swallowing.

The 10 mg prolonged-release tablet is a higher, once-daily alfuzosin strength designed for patients who need a sustained effect rather than a small starter dose. Because it is a prolonged-release tablet, it is meant to release medicine gradually and should not be crushed, split, or chewed. A doctor may choose Olfura 10 mg Tablet PR when a regular once-daily regimen is appropriate and the patient has been assessed for blood pressure and tolerance.
