ALFUZOSIN+TADALAFIL belongs to a group of medicines known as 'urinary bladder relaxant' medication, used primarily to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia occurs due to non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of the cells. Benign prostatic hypertrophy/hyperplasia mostly occurs in older men.
ALFUZOSIN+TADALAFIL consists of Alfuzosin and Tadalafil. Alfuzosin helps relax the prostate muscles and the bladder's opening. At the same time, Tadalafil works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder. The combination of alfuzosin and Tadalafil exerts an additive relaxant effect on the human detrusor (a muscle forming a bladder wall layer) and prostatic tissues. Thereby, helps in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it easier to pass urine.

Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as headaches, dizziness, feeling sick (nausea), facial flushing and hot flushes, indigestion, stuffy nose, muscle aches, diarrhoea, stomach pain and dry mouth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
ALFUZOSIN+TADALAFIL is a combination of 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.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also called prostate enlargement, is the non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of cells. This leads to swelling and squeezing of the urethra and limits the urine flow. It is an age-associated prostate gland enlargement which can cause problems with urination. BPH symptoms include loss of bladder control, frequent urination, inability to urinate, incomplete bladder emptying, weak urinary stream, dribbling at the end of the urinary stream, sudden urge to urinate, and painful urination.
