What is this medicine?

ALFUZOSIN is used to treat enlargement of the prostate gland in men (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). It is not for use in females. Alfuzosin works by relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder neck at the site of the obstruction. This improves urine flow and reduces BPH symptoms

Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including nonprescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your prescriber or health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.

What should I watch for while taking this medicine?

You must see your physician regularly for checkups while taking alfuzosin. Follow your physician's advice about when to have these checkups.

You may feel drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that requires mental alertness until you know how alfuzosin affects you. To reduce the risk of dizzy or fainting spells, do not sit or stand up quickly. If you begin to feel dizzy, sit down until you feel better. Avoid alcoholic drinks; they can make you more drowsy, increase flushing, and cause rapid heartbeats. Take alfuzosin at bedtime to lessen the effects of drowsiness and dizziness, but be careful if you have to get up during the night. Drowsiness and dizziness are more likely to occur after the first dose, after an increase in dose, or during hot weather or exercise. These effects can decrease once your body adjusts to this medicine.

Although extremely rare in men taking alfuzosin, contact you health care provider immediately if you experience persistent painful penile erection unrelated to sexual activity (priapism). If not brought to immediate medical attention, priapism can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction (impotence).

If you are going to have surgery, tell your prescriber or health care professional that you are taking alfuzosin.
