Product Introduction:
AFDURA TABLET is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Alfuzosin (10mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg). This combination is commonly prescribed for the management of certain urinary conditions, particularly in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Afdura Tablet should be taken immediately after the same meal each day. Take it as a whole, do not break, chew, or crush them. Your doctor will prescribe the dose most suitable for you. To gain the most benefit and treat your symptoms effectively you should not miss doses, even if you feel well. It may take up to 4 weeks to notice an improvement in symptoms but keep taking them regularly. Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 4 weeks or if they get worse.
The most common side effects of this medicine include decreased libido, inability to get an erection (impotence), and tenderness or enlargement of your breasts. If these effects worry you or do not go away, call your doctor for advice. You may also feel dizzy or drowsy. These risks are higher when you first start taking this drug. Remember, your doctor has given you this medicine because the benefits are greater than the risks of the side effects.
Afdura Tablet should not be taken by women or children. Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have low blood pressure or liver or kidney disease. This medicine may not be suitable. It can also affect, or be affected by, other drugs so let your doctor know all other medicines you are taking. You may be advised to wear a condom during sex and to have your blood pressure checked frequently. Talk to your healthcare team if you drink alcohol.
Benefits:
- Alfuzosin (10mg): Alfuzosin is an alpha-blocker that helps to relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. It is primarily used to improve the symptoms associated with BPH, such as difficulty urinating, a weak urine stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently.
- Dutasteride (0.5mg): Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that works by reducing the size of the prostate gland in men with BPH. It helps to alleviate symptoms related to an enlarged prostate, such as difficulty urinating and the risk of urinary retention.
