Alfuzosin is a medicine used by men who have trouble peeing because of an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and to ease difficulties in urination. It works by relaxing muscles in the bladder and prostate, making it easier to pass the urine. While it usually helps reduce frequent trips to the bathroom or weak urine flow, side effects may include dizziness or low semen production. People with serious kidney or liver problems, or those taking certain strong medicines, should avoid it. Grapefruit juice and alcohol can mess with how the medicine works, so they’re best skipped. You can keep alfuzosin stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Do not take more than 10 mg of Alfuzosin daily, as overdose may cause serious side effects like liver damage, dizziness and unconsciousness.
