About VELFLU CAPSULE

VELFLU CAPSULE is used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Benign prostatic hyperplasia occurs due to the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, caused by the multiplication of cells. Benign prostatic hypertrophy/hyperplasia mostly occurs in older men.

VELFLU CAPSULE contains Alfuzosin that works by blocking the receptors (alpha 1) on the prostate gland, bladder and urethra (urine pipe). VELFLU CAPSULE relaxes the muscles of the bladder and prostate, reducing the narrowing of the urethra.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects will resolve gradually over time. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Avoid taking VELFLU CAPSULE if you are allergic to it. Rise slowly from a sitting/lying position as VELFLU CAPSULE may cause dizziness or weakness. VELFLU CAPSULE is intended for use in men only; women should not take VELFLU CAPSULE, especially pregnant or breastfeeding women. VELFLU CAPSULE should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. VELFLU CAPSULE may cause dizziness, so drive with caution.

Uses of VELFLU CAPSULE

VELFLU CAPSULE is used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The detailed uses of VELFLU CAPSULE are as follows:

  • Treats BPH (enlarged prostate) : VELFLU CAPSULE helps manage symptoms of BPH in men, such as painful urination, difficulty urinating, incomplete bladder emptying, leakage of urine, and frequent or urgent need to urinate, especially at night.
  • Improves Urine Flow: VELFLU CAPSULE relaxes the muscles of the bladder and prostate, thereby reducing pressure on the urethra and facilitating easier urination.
  • Reduces Risk of Urinary Retention (UR): VELFLU CAPSULE helps lower the chances of postoperative UR after urologic surgery and reduces the need for urinary catheterisation due to acute UR.
  • Delays Need for Prostate Surgery: By effectively controlling BPH symptoms, VELFLU CAPSULE can delay or reduce the need for surgical intervention in some cases.

VELFLU CAPSULE works by relaxing the muscles of the bladder and prostate; this reduces the narrowing of the urethra. It thereby helps in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it easier to pass urine.

Dry mouth could be a side effect of VELFLU CAPSULE. Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking and mouthwashes containing alcohol, drinking water regularly, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy may help stimulate saliva and thereby prevent mouth dryness.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of VELFLU CAPSULE. Drink lots of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience severe diarrhoea, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia may have the same symptoms. Therefore, people with benign prostatic hyperplasia should be examined prior to starting the treatment with VELFLU CAPSULE to rule out the presence of carcinoma of the prostate.
