Auro Alfuzosin How to Take

Alfuzosin belongs to a group of medications known as alpha-1 receptor antagonists. It is used to treat the symptoms of enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH). Alfuzosin can also be used when a catheter is required for urinary retention and to help with urination after the catheter is removed. Alfuzosin helps to relax the muscles in the prostate and the opening of the bladder, which in turn improves urine flow and decreases symptoms of BPH. Alfuzosin does not slow or stop the progression of enlarged prostate.

Auro Alfuzosin may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Auro Alfuzosin may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Auro Alfuzosin may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Auro Alfuzosin for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Auro Alfuzosin, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Auro Alfuzosin without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Auro Alfuzosin to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Auro Alfuzosin if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Auro Alfuzosin Precautions

There may be an interaction between alfuzosin and any of the following:

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,
  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
  • leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Auro Alfuzosin. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Auro Alfuzosin Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Auro Alfuzosin.

Angina: Alfuzosin may cause increased heart rate or decreased blood pressure, which may affect control of angina symptoms. People with angina (chest pain) should stop using Auro Alfuzosin if their symptoms reappear or become worse.

Cataracts: During eye surgery for cataracts, people who take or have taken alfuzosin are at risk for developing a condition called Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS). This condition can lead to eye damage. If you will be undergoing cataract surgery, tell your doctor that you are taking a medication that contains alfuzosin. Your surgeon may advise you to temporarily stop taking the medication before the surgery.

Drowsiness/dizziness: Alfuzosin may cause dizziness with the first few doses, affecting your ability to drive or operate machinery. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other potentially hazardous tasks until you have determined how you are affected by Auro Alfuzosin.

Liver function: If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how Auro Alfuzosin may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Auro Alfuzosin, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.

Orthostatic hypotension (Low Blood Pressure upon arising): Alfuzosin can cause orthostatic hypotension, leading to dizziness or fainting when rising from a sitting or lying down position. If you feel faint or dizzy when getting up, lie down until the symptoms pass. This effect often goes away as treatment with alfuzosin is continued. People with orthostatic hypotension should use caution while taking alfuzosin, as it may worsen their condition.

Prostate Cancer: Prostate cancer and BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) cause many of the same symptoms. These two diseases frequently coexist. Before starting alfuzosin therapy, an evaluation should take place to rule out prostate cancer.

QT prolongation: Auro Alfuzosin can lengthen heartbeat as shown on an electrocardiogram test, also known as QT prolongation. If you have heart disease and abnormal heart rhythms, or are taking certain medications (e.g., Verapamil, atazanavir), discuss with your doctor how Auro Alfuzosin may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Auro Alfuzosin, and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you develop heart palpitations (fast or irregular heartbeat) or experience fainting spells, stop taking alfuzosin and contact your doctor immediately.

Women: Alfuzosin is not recommended for use by women.

Children: Alfuzosin is not recommended for use by children.
