About Velfu Tablet
Velfu Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called alpha-blockers used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy. 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.
Velfu Tablet contains ‘Alfuzosin’ that works by blocking the receptors (alpha 1) on the prostate gland, bladder and urethra (urine pipe). Velfu Tablet relaxes the muscles of the bladder and prostate; this reduces the narrowing of the urethra. Thereby, helps in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it easier to pass urine.
You are advised to take Velfu Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and dry mouth. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Rise slowly from a sitting/lying position as Velfu Tablet may cause dizziness or weakness. Velfu Tablet is intended for use in men only; women should not take Velfu Tablet, especially pregnant or breastfeeding women. Velfu Tablet should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Velfu Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption with Velfu Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before taking Velfu Tablet to rule out any side-effects.
