Alfusin D Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. This tablet contains a combination of two active ingredients, Alfuzosin and Dutasteride, which work together to relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder, and also shrink the prostate to improve urine flow and decrease symptoms of BPH. Alfusin D Tablet is taken orally, usually once a day, and should be swallowed whole with water, as breaking or crushing the tablet can lead to the release of too much medication at once. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor and to not stop taking the medication without consulting with a healthcare professional.
Alfusin D Tablet (Alfuzosin 10 / Dutasteride 0.5)
Alfusin D Tablet combines two drugs with various modes of action to offer thorough relief from BPH symptoms:
- Alfuzosin: It is a member of the group of drugs known as alpha-1 blockers. It relieves symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and a weak urine stream by relaxing the muscles around the prostate gland and the bladder neck.
- Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, a class of drug. The mechanism of action of dutasteride is to prevent testosterone from being converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that promotes prostate growth. Dutasteride helps to shrink the prostate gland and relieve urinary symptoms by lowering DHT levels.
Alfuzosin and Dutasteride work in tandem to target both the relaxation of the prostate and bladder muscles and the lowering of prostate size in Alfusin D Tablet.
