Alfoo D Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that affects urinary flow. It combines two active components—Alfuzosin and Dutasteride. Alfuzosin is an alpha-blocker, while Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. Together, they help manage urinary symptoms such as difficulty in urination, weak stream, frequent or urgent need to urinate, and nighttime urination.
The medicine works by relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder neck and by reducing the size of the enlarged prostate. This dual action helps restore normal urine flow and reduces the need for prostate surgery in the long term. Alfoo-D Tablet is meant for adult men and should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor. It must be swallowed whole, immediately after a meal, and taken at the same time every day for best results.

How Alfoo D Tablet works
Alfoo-D Tablet works through two complementary mechanisms. Alfuzosin, an alpha-1 receptor blocker, relaxes the smooth muscles of the prostate gland and bladder neck. This relaxation allows urine to pass easily through the urethra and relieves symptoms like difficulty starting urination or incomplete emptying.
Dutasteride, on the other hand, inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — the hormone responsible for prostate enlargement. Lowering DHT levels helps shrink the prostate gradually and prevents further growth. Together, these actions ease discomfort, improve urinary function, and maintain long-term prostate health. Consistent use as advised by the doctor helps achieve steady symptom relief.
