Alfuzosin + Dutasteride is a combination medicine used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that makes urination difficult. Alfuzosin relaxes muscles around the bladder and prostate to ease urine flow, while dutasteride shrinks the prostate over time by blocking a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that causes it to grow. Together, they improve symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete emptying. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, reduced sexual desire, ejaculation problems, and breast tenderness in men. This medicine should be avoided by women (especially pregnant or breastfeeding), children, and men with severe liver issues or known allergies to its ingredients. It may interact with grapefruit juice, alcohol, and certain antibiotics or heart medications, so always check with your doctor before combining it with other substances.
