Prostetrol 10 Mg 30 Tablets

Prostetrol 10 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Prostetrol 10 mg 30 tablets is a prescription oral medicine containing alfuzosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker used for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps relax the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow and reducing urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak stream, and frequent or urgent urination. Prostetrol is a modified-release (m.r.) formulation designed to provide sustained symptom control throughout the day in adult men with symptomatic BPH. It should be used under medical supervision and as part of a comprehensive approach to prostate health.

Indications:

• Symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men.
• Reduction of urinary obstruction due to enlarged prostate.
• Relief of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with BPH, such as:
• – Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying.
• – Straining to urinate.
• – Urinary urgency and increased frequency, especially at night (nocturia).
• – Interrupted or weak urinary stream.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Alfuzosin (as alfuzosin hydrochloride) – 10 mg per tablet (modified-release).
• Other excipients: Full list of inactive ingredients is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the official package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• This product is a prescription medicine and dosing must follow your doctor’s instructions.
• Typical adult dose for BPH with modified-release alfuzosin is 10 mg once daily, usually taken after the same meal each day to improve absorption and reduce the risk of side effects. However, the exact regimen should be confirmed by the prescribing physician.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the modified-release tablet, as this may affect the controlled release of the medicine.
• Take at the same time each day, preferably after food.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not stop taking Prostetrol without consulting your doctor, even if symptoms improve.
• Use only in adult men as directed by a healthcare professional. Not recommended for use in women or children.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps relieve urinary obstruction caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia by relaxing smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck.
• Improves urine flow and reduces symptoms such as weak stream, hesitancy, and straining during urination.
• Decreases urinary frequency and urgency, including nighttime urination, improving quality of life and sleep.
• Provides sustained symptom control throughout the day due to its modified-release formulation.
• Reduces the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgical intervention in some patients when used as part of long-term BPH management.

• Use only under medical supervision. This medicine is intended for adult men with diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia.
