About Velfu D Tablet 7's

Velfu D Tablet 7's belongs to a group of medicines known as 'urinary bladder relaxant' medication, used primarily in treating the enlarged prostate gland. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused due to overproduction of a dihydrotestosterone hormone in men. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and frequent urination. Velfu D Tablet 7's helps in getting relief from these symptoms. Velfu D Tablet 7's does not cure prostate cancer.

Velfu D Tablet 7's contains Alfuzosin (alpha-blockers) and Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily used to treat the enlarged prostate gland. Alfuzosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the prostate gland muscles. Dutasteride reduces the enlarged prostate gland's size by lowering the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, thereby relieving urinary incontinence symptoms that minimise the need for prostate surgery and the risk of acute urinary retention. Both of them collectively improve Benign Hyperplasia Prostate symptoms (BPH).

You are advised to take Velfu D Tablet 7's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. The most common side effects of Velfu D Tablet 7's are dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, sexual problems (decreased sex drive or libido), runny/stuffy nose, reduced amount of semen/sperm, testicle pain/swelling, increased breast size, or breast tenderness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. 

Women or children should not take Velfu D Tablet 7's. Please inform your doctor before starting Velfu D Tablet 7's if you have low blood pressure, liver/kidney disease, or history of heart problems. It is advisable to use contraceptives (like a condom) while having sex if your wife is pregnant as Velfu D Tablet 7's is known to pass in semen. Do not donate blood while taking Velfu D Tablet 7's. However, you can donate it six months after the last dose of Velfu D Tablet 7's.

Medicinal Benefits

Velfu D Tablet 7's contains Alfuzosin (alpha-blockers) and dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor), primarily used in treating the enlarged prostate gland. As the gland enlarges, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty passing urine and a frequent urination urge. Dutasteride lowers the production of dihydrotestosterone hormone, which leads to a decrease in the size of the prostate and, as a result, relieves the symptoms. This will reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery. Alfuzosin makes it easy to pass urine by relaxing the muscles of the gland. Both of them collectively improve Benign Hyperplasia Prostate symptoms (BPH).
