Alfuzosin Hydrochloride is the non-proprietary name for an alpha blocker used to help facilitate urine flow in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), better known as an enlarged prostate.

Though Alfuzosin Hydrochloride does lower blood pressure, it is not prescribed to treat hypertension.

Women and young men sometimes buy Alfuzosin Hydrochloride to help treat certain other conditions, though this is quite rare. A doctor should determine dosage and duration of treatment in these cases.

BPH Basics

BPH affects nearly all men as they age, though the condition is not always severe enough to cause disruptive symptoms. There is also some variability between individuals; some men with very large prostates experience only mild symptoms, while others with relatively small prostates experience severe symptoms.

Located beneath the bladder and surrounding the urethra, an enlarged prostate often causes the muscles along the urethra to tighten, restricting urine flow. Symptoms of BPH range from annoying to disrupting and embarrassing:

• Difficulty urinating
• Weak urine stream
• Urgent urination
• Frequent urination
• Waking up several times to urinate
• Excessive dribbling at the end of urination
• Inability to fully empty the bladder

Untreated, the condition can lead to more serious symptoms such as bladder infections or kidney damage. There is even a risk that emergency surgery will be needed if urine flow is impeded enough.

Men buy Alfuzosin Hydrochloride for relief from all of the above. The medication relaxes the tight muscles, allowing urine to flow down the urethra more easily and the bladder to empty.

Results do vary to some extent; some men will have complete relief with treatment, while others will experience only a reduction of symptoms. If the medication does not satisfactorily alleviate the problem speak with a doctor about alternative options.

Taking Alfuzosin Hydrochloride

Men who discuss BPH symptoms with a doctor will likely be given a prescription to buy Alfuzosin Hydrochloride or a similar alpha blocker. An examination may be in order to rule out prostate cancer, particularly if there is a family history of prostate cancer.

Alfuzosin Hydrochloride comes in tablets, which must be swallowed whole. Food is recommended with each dose. Dosage varies to some extent according to age and other medical conditions.

Otherwise healthy men under age 65 typically:

• Take 2.5 mg three times per day (total of 7.5 mg per day), taken at even intervals throughout the day.
• If needed, dosage may be increased to 10 mg per day.

Men over age 65 or those with other major medical conditions may be instructed to:

• Take 2.5 mg twice per day (total of 5 mg per day), taken morning and evening.

If using extended-release versions of the medication, treatment is typically:

• Take 10 mg (one tablet) once per day.

It may take 2 to 4 weeks of treatment with Alfuzosin Hydrochloride before maximum benefit will be felt, though many men notice some improvements sooner. The medication works best at consistent levels in the body, so tablets should be taken at the same time each day. If a dose is missed, it should be skipped entirely; do not take a double dose to compensate.

Blood Pressure Warnings

Men planning to buy Alfuzosin Hydrochloride should be aware that this medication will lower blood pressure, though it's not used as a treatment for hypertension.

Symptoms of lowered blood pressure are often experienced at the start of treatment, even if blood pressure is still within healthy ranges. Symptoms should stop occurring after a few weeks of treatment. These symptoms can include dizziness, weakness, and fatigue; be careful performing dangerous tasks until effects are known. Alcohol can significantly worsen these symptoms.

Patients taking other medications to lower blood pressure should use Alfuzosin Hydrochloride with caution. Men with preexisting low blood pressure will probably want to avoid buying Alfuzosin Hydrochloride altogether; a doctor can recommend alternative treatments.
