Alfumax ER Tablet 10 mg is an extended-release formulation containing Alfuzosin Hydrochloride 10 mg, designed for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. BPH is a common condition characterized by the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can cause urinary symptoms such as difficulty in starting urination, weak stream, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.

Alfumax ER works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate and the bladder neck, improving urinary flow and relieving symptoms associated with BPH. The extended-release (ER) formulation ensures a gradual release of the active ingredient over 24 hours, allowing once-daily dosing and maintaining consistent therapeutic effects throughout the day.

Composition

• Alfuzosin Hydrochloride 10 mg (Extended Release)

Mechanism of Action

Alfuzosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist that selectively blocks alpha-1 receptors in the smooth muscles of the prostate, bladder neck, and urethra. By relaxing these muscles:

• Urinary flow improves, reducing symptoms like hesitancy and weak stream

• Bladder emptying becomes more complete, decreasing the feeling of residual urine

• Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with BPH are alleviated

Alfuzosin primarily acts on the lower urinary tract without significantly affecting blood pressure in most patients, making it a targeted therapy for BPH symptoms.

Alfumax ER Tablet 10 mg is indicated for:

• Management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

• Relief of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including:

  • Difficulty initiating urination

  • Weak urine stream

  • Frequent or urgent urination

  • Nocturia (nighttime urination)

• Improving quality of life in men with BPH by reducing urinary discomfort

Dosage and Administration

Alfumax ER Tablet 10 mg is usually taken once daily, preferably after the same meal each day to enhance absorption and maintain steady blood levels. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed, to preserve the extended-release properties.

• Rarely, orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure on standing) may occur; caution is advised when standing up quickly
