ALFUGEM D 10'S 

Alfuzosin SR (10mg), Dutasteride (0.5mg)

Introduction

Alfuzosin and Dutasteride combination therapy, marketed under the brand name ALFUGEM D 10'S, is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Each tablet contains 10mg of Alfuzosin, an alpha-blocker, and 0.5mg of Dutasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. BPH is a common condition in older men, characterized by an enlarged prostate gland, which can lead to urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak stream, and frequent urination. This combination works synergistically to alleviate these symptoms by both relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck and shrinking the prostate gland.

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): The combination is primarily used to treat the urinary symptoms associated with BPH, improving urine flow and reducing the need for surgical intervention.
• Urinary Retention: It helps manage urinary retention caused by an enlarged prostate.
• Prevention of BPH Progression: Reducing the size of the prostate, helps in preventing the progression of BPH and the complications associated with it.

Dosage

The dosage of Alfuzosin SR (10mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg) should be individualized based on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and tolerance. Proper administration is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the medication and to minimize potential side effects:

1. Administration: Take the tablet orally once daily, preferably after a meal. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, or split.
2. Duration of Treatment: Alfuzosin and Dutasteride combination therapy is usually prescribed for long-term use to manage the symptoms of BPH. Regular follow-ups with the healthcare provider are essential to monitor progress and adjust the dosage if necessary.
3. Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
4. Special Considerations: Elderly patients and those with liver impairment may require dosage adjustments and careful monitoring.

Side Effects

Like all medications, Alfuzosin and Dutasteride may cause side effects. While many people do not experience significant side effects, it is important to be aware of them:

• Common Side Effects: These may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues such as abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders may also occur.
• Serious Side Effects: Rarely, serious side effects such as hypotension (low blood pressure), fainting, chest pain, and priapism (painful, prolonged erection) may occur. Patients should be monitored for signs of these serious conditions.
• Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if any signs of an allergic reaction appear.
• Precautions: Alfuzosin and Dutasteride should be used with caution in individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease, severe liver impairment, or those who are taking other medications that can affect blood pressure.
