Composition

Alfuzosin (10 Mg) + Dutasteride (0.5 Mg)

Alfoo-D Tablet is used to manage benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is a combination medicine that belongs to the class of medications known as alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

This medicine helps improve urinary flow and reduces symptoms such as frequent or urgent need to urinate. It also helps reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the potential need for BPH-related surgery.

You should take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or other medications you are taking before starting this medicine. If you experience any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor promptly. Continue taking the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor to achieve optimal results.

Alfoo-D Tablet is used for the following:

Treating BPH (non-cancerous prostate enlargement)
Relieving difficult urination due to prostate enlargement
Reducing frequent urination, especially at night
Managing urgent need to urinate
Improving weak urine stream
Preventing acute urinary retention
Reducing the need for BPH-related surgery

Follow these instructions while taking Alfoo-D Tablet:

Take this medicine immediately after a meal with a glass of water.
Swallow the tablet whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it.
Take it at the same time each day for best results.

Alfoo-D Tablet is taken orally.

Alfoo-D Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Decreased sex drive
Ejaculation problems
Breast tenderness or enlargement
Dizziness
Headache
Runny or stuffy nose
Diarrhoea
Nausea
Abdominal pain

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Alfoo-D Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Dizziness: Take Alfoo-D Tablet immediately after a meal to reduce this effect.
Nausea: Taking this medicine with food can help lessen stomach discomfort.

Alfoo-D Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Alfuzosin (10 mg): This component is an alpha-blocker that works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate gland and bladder neck. This relaxation allows urine to flow more easily through the urethra, improving urinary symptoms.
Dutasteride (0.5 mg): This is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the main hormone responsible for prostate growth. By reducing DHT levels, dutasteride can shrink the prostate over time, further alleviating BPH symptoms.

Pregnancy

Handling of this medicine should be done with care as it contains dutasteride, which can harm a developing male foetus. If you are trying to conceive or if you have a pregnant spouse do not take this medicine.

Alcohol

Alcohol may worsen side effects like dizziness and increase your risk of fainting. Avoid alcohol during your treatment period.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Alfoo-D Tablet if you have liver problems. This medicine should be used with caution if you have mild to moderate liver impairment and is contraindicated for severe liver disease.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Alfoo-D Tablet if you have severe kidney problems. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Alfoo-D Tablet may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when you first start taking it. Be careful when driving, operating machinery, or performing activities that require alertness until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

If you have a known allergy to alfuzosin, dutasteride, or any other ingredients in Alfoo-D Tablet, you should not take this medicine. Inform your doctor about any previous allergic reactions to medicines.

Children

Alfoo-D Tablet is not meant for use in children under 18 years of age. This medicine is specifically designed to treat prostate conditions that affect adult men only.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Alfoo-D Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your overall health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Alfoo-D Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Blood Pressure Medications: Alpha-blockers like prazosin or terazosin may increase the risk of dizziness and low blood pressure when taken with Alfoo-D Tablet.
Antifungal Medicines: Ketoconazole and itraconazole can increase the levels of dutasteride in your blood, potentially worsening side effects.
HIV Medicines: Ritonavir and indinavir may increase dutasteride concentration in your bloodstream, leading to increased side effects.
Erectile Dysfunction Medicines: Sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil taken with Alfoo-D Tablet may increase the risk of dizziness and fainting.
Antibiotics: Medicines like clarithromycin and telithromycin may increase the concentration of alfuzosin, leading to enhanced effects and possible side effects.

Drug-Food Interactions

Alfoo-D Tablet interacts with some foods as follows:

Grapefruit: May increase dutasteride levels in your blood, potentially worsening side effects.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Alfoo-D Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Liver Disease: The medicine may not be properly broken down in patients with liver problems, potentially leading to increased side effects.
Kidney Problems: Patients with kidney impairment may experience increased medicine levels in the bloodstream.
Heart Conditions: Patients with QT prolongation (a heart rhythm problem) should use this medicine carefully, as it may worsen this condition.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Alfoo-D Tablet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may change based on individual factors such as the severity of your prostate condition and response to treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage carefully.

Over Dose

Overdosing on Alfoo-D Tablet may cause severe dizziness, fainting, headache, weakness, and digestive problems. You might experience an irregular heartbeat and unusual tiredness. Contact your doctor if you suspect an overdose of this medicine.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your regular schedule. Never increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Alfoo-D Tablet at room temperature not exceeding 30°C.
Keep the bottle tightly closed to protect it from light and moisture.
Do not store in bathrooms or other damp places.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Discard any unused medicine after the expiry date on the package.

Limit caffeine intake from coffee, tea, and fizzy drinks, as these can worsen urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement (BPH).
Stay hydrated but avoid drinking large amounts of fluid before bedtime to reduce nighttime urination, a common symptom of prostate enlargement.
