ALFUNOL D (Alfuzosin (10mg) + Dutasteride (0.5mg))

Alfunol D 10mg/0.5mg Tablet is a medicinal formulation that combines two active ingredients, each functioning through distinct mechanisms to assist men dealing with benign prostatic hyperplasia, commonly known as an enlarged prostate. This condition can lead to troublesome urinary symptoms, including difficulty initiating urination or an increased frequency of urination, particularly at night. It is important to note that this medication is not intended for the prevention of prostate cancer. For optimal results, it is advisable to take the tablet immediately after the same meal every day, swallowing it whole without breaking, chewing, or crushing. The physician prescribing this medication will determine the appropriate dosage for each individual. Adhering to the prescribed schedule is crucial for effective symptom management, even if the patient feels improvement. It may take several weeks, up to four, before noticeable relief is experienced. Patients should consult their healthcare provider if improvements are not observed within this timeframe or if symptoms worsen. Possible adverse effects include lower libido, erectile dysfunction, and breast tenderness or enlargement. If any of these side effects cause concern or persist, it is advisable to seek medical advice. The prescribing physician considers that the therapeutic benefits outweigh the associated risks, making patient safety paramount. This medication is intended solely for male patients and is not suitable for women or children. Prior to initiation, individuals should disclose any existing conditions, including low blood pressure or liver and kidney disorders, as these may influence treatment eligibility or require modifications in dosage. Continuous communication with healthcare providers about other medications being taken is crucial for safety.
