Alfuzosin+tadalafil

Alfuzosin+tadalafil belongs to a group of medicines known as 'urinary bladder relaxant' medication, used primarily to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia occurs due to non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of the cells. Benign prostatic hypertrophy/hyperplasia mostly occurs in older men.

Alfuzosin+tadalafil consists of Alfuzosin and Tadalafil. Alfuzosin helps relax the prostate muscles and the bladder's opening. At the same time, Tadalafil works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder. The combination of alfuzosin and Tadalafil exerts an additive relaxant effect on the human detrusor (a muscle forming a bladder wall layer) and prostatic tissues. Thereby, helps in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it easier to pass urine.

Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Alfuzosin+tadalafil for as long as your doctor prescribes it. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as headaches, dizziness, feeling sick (nausea), facial flushing and hot flushes, indigestion, stuffy nose, muscle aches, diarrhoea, stomach pain and dry mouth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take it if you are allergic to any component in Alfuzosin+tadalafil. Alfuzosin+tadalafil is intended for use in men only; women should not take Alfuzosin+tadalafil, especially pregnant or breastfeeding women. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before taking Alfuzosin+tadalafil to rule out any side effects.Alfuzosin+tadalafil should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Alfuzosin+tadalafil may cause dizziness, so drive only when you are alert. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption with Alfuzosin+tadalafil as it could increase dizziness.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)

Alfuzosin+tadalafil is a combination of Alfuzosin and Tadalafil. Alfuzosin aids in the relaxation of the prostate muscles and the opening of the bladder. On the other hand, Tadalafil works by relaxing the prostate and bladder muscles. The combination of alfuzosin and tadalafil relaxes the human detrusor (a muscle that forms the bladder wall layer) and prostatic tissues. As a result, it aids in the relief of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it simpler to pass urine.

It should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water with or without food or taken as directed by the physician. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
