About Olfura Plus Tablet

Olfura Plus Tablet 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.

Olfura Plus Tablet 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 Olfura Plus Tablet 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.

Olfura Plus Tablet contains Alfuzosin (alpha-blockers) and Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily used to treat the enlarged prostate gland. Alfuzosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the prostate gland muscles. Dutasteride reduces the enlarged prostate gland's size by lowering the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, thereby relieving urinary incontinence symptoms that minimise the need for prostate surgery and the risk of acute urinary retention. Both of them collectively improve Benign Hyperplasia Prostate symptoms (BPH).
