Alfoo 10mg Tablet PR is an alpha-adrenergic antagonist used to manage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. It helps relieve urinary difficulties such as weak stream, frequent urination, or the constant urge to urinate. However, it does not shrink the size of the prostate.
The active ingredient, Alfuzosin, works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the bladder neck and prostate. This relaxation improves urine flow and reduces urinary obstruction. The medicine is designed as a prolonged-release tablet, which allows a steady release of the drug into the bloodstream for long-lasting symptom relief.

How Alfoo 10mg Tablet works
Alfoo 10mg Tablet PR contains Alfuzosin, which belongs to the class of alpha-1 adrenergic blockers. It acts by selectively blocking alpha-1 receptors located in the smooth muscles of the prostate gland and bladder neck. This blocking action leads to muscle relaxation, allowing urine to pass more easily.
As a result, urinary flow improves, pressure on the bladder decreases, and symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, incomplete emptying, and frequent nighttime urination are reduced. Regular use provides sustained relief from discomfort caused by prostate enlargement. The medicine helps manage symptoms but does not reduce the actual size of the prostate gland.
