Product Description
ALFUSIN D is a fixed-dose combination medication that combines Dutasteride and Alfuzosin to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that reduces the size of the prostate gland and improves urinary flow. Alfuzosin, an alpha-blocker, relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, reducing urinary symptoms associated with BPH. This combination provides comprehensive relief from urinary symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, weak stream, and difficulty in starting and stopping urination. ALFUSIN D is prescribed by doctors to improve overall urinary function and enhance the quality of life for individuals with BPH.
