Alfoo-T Tablet 10's is used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It contains Alfuzosin and Tadalafil. Alfuzosin aids in the relaxation of the prostate muscles and the opening of the bladder. On the other hand, Tadalafil works by relaxing the prostate and bladder muscles. The combination of alfuzosin and Tadalafil relaxes the human detrusor (a muscle that forms the bladder wall layer) and prostatic tissues. As a result, it aids in the relief of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it simpler to pass urine.
