Could taking a single Alfoo tablet at bedtime cause me to pass out when getting up in the middle of the night, and does this mean I am allergic to this medicine?

Asked by Male, 19 · 1 month ago

Please be reassured that this is a known side effect of Alfoo (alfuzosin) rather than an allergic reaction. This medication relaxes blood vessels, which can cause a sudden, temporary drop in blood pressure when you stand up quickly, especially at night. To help prevent this, try sitting on the edge of your bed for a minute before standing, and rise very slowly. I highly recommend contacting your doctor to discuss this, as they can safely evaluate your symptoms and determine if any changes to your treatment are needed.
