About Alfoo-T Tablet 10's

Alfoo-T Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medicines known as 'urinary bladder relaxant' medication, used primarily to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia occurs due to non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of the cells. Benign prostatic hypertrophy/hyperplasia mostly occurs in older men.

At the same time, Tadalafil works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder. The combination of alfuzosin and Tadalafil exerts an additive relaxant effect on the human detrusor (a muscle forming a bladder wall layer) and prostatic tissues. Thereby, helps in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it easier to pass urine.
