Is it safe to take Afdura (alfuzosin + dutasteride) long-term for an enlarged prostate, and are there any serious side effects if a patient prefers to continue taking it instead of Alfusin 10 (alfuzosin) due to ongoing discomfort with their urine flow?

Asked by Male, 56 · 26 days ago

Taking the combination of alfuzosin and dutasteride (Afdura) long-term is generally safe and often more effective than alfuzosin (Alfusin 10) alone, as it both relaxes the bladder muscles and helps shrink the prostate over time. While highly beneficial, long-term use can sometimes cause side effects like dizziness or mild sexual changes, such as reduced libido. These are usually manageable, but please discuss your preference with your doctor. They can safely monitor your progress and check your prostate health regularly to ensure your continued well-being.
