Medicine information
Uses & overview
ALFUGEM T 5/10 is a pharmaceutical product from Steris Healthcare containing Alfuzosin 10 mg and Tadalafil 5 mg Tablets. This combination brings together two active ingredients with different mechanisms of action and may be prescribed for selected patients experiencing urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Alfuzosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker that helps relax smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, potentially improving urinary flow and relieving certain lower urinary tract symptoms. Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction and, in appropriate formulations, symptoms associated with BPH. ALFUGEM T 5/10 should be used only under medical supervision. Its suitability depends on the patient's symptoms, blood pressure, cardiovascular health, kidney and liver function, and other medicines being taken. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for approved indications, dosage instructions, contraindications, and potential drug interactions.
How to use
Take ALFUGEM T 5/10 exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare professional and the approved product leaflet. Take the tablet as directed, and do not change the dose or discontinue treatment without medical advice. Inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, heart disease, kidney or liver problems, or take medicines for blood pressure or erectile dysfunction. Alfuzosin and tadalafil can both lower blood pressure and may cause dizziness or faintness. Do not take tadalafil with nitrate medicines, as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Seek medical advice if you experience persistent or severe side effects.
Storage
Store ALFUGEM T 5/10 in its original packaging according to the storage conditions stated on the product label. Protect the tablets from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep the medicine out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date.
