About Flotra D Capsule Kit

Flotra D Capsule Kit is used to treat an enlarged prostate gland. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused by the overproduction of a dihydrotestosterone hormone in men.

Flotra D Capsule Kit contains Alfuzosin and Dutasteride. Alfuzosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the prostate gland muscles. Dutasteride reduces the enlarged prostate gland's size and relieves urinary incontinence symptoms.

The most common side effects of Flotra D Capsule Kit are dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, sexual problems, runny/stuffy nose, reduced amount of semen/sperm, testicle pain/swelling, increased breast size, or breast tenderness. If the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Women or children should not take Flotra D Capsule Kit. Please inform your doctor before starting Flotra D Capsule Kit if you have low blood pressure, liver/kidney disease, or a history of heart problems. Do not donate blood while taking Flotra D Capsule Kit. However, you can donate it six months after the last dose of Flotra D Capsule Kit.
