Description
Product Introduction:
Alfoo 10mg Tablet PR is an alpha-adrenergic antagonist used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland becomes enlarged. It helps relieve symptoms such as difficulty in passing urine, frequent urination, and slow urine flow. However, it does not reduce the size of the prostate. For optimal results, it should be taken as prescribed, alongside a healthy lifestyle. It is recommended to take this medicine with food at a consistent time each day. Do not stop the treatment without consulting your doctor, as discontinuing it may worsen symptoms.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:

How It Works: Alfoo 10mg Tablet PR is an alpha blocker. It works by relaxing the muscles around the bladder exit and the prostate gland, which makes it easier to pass urine. This helps to alleviate symptoms like urinary difficulty and slow flow. It may take up to 6 months to experience the full benefit of this treatment.
