ALFUGEM T 5/10

ALFUGEM T 5/10 is a combination tablet from Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. that contains alfuzosin hydrochloride (extended-release) and tadalafil. Doctors prescribe this combination for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate, in adult men. One strip has 10 tablets. It is taken once daily as directed, it is for men only, and it requires a valid prescription.

Getting up several times at night to urinate, a weak stream, a feeling that the bladder never fully empties, or sudden urgency can affect sleep, work and confidence. Many men in India accept these symptoms as part of ageing and wait years before seeing a doctor. If your doctor has suggested a combination for an enlarged prostate, this page explains what alfuzosin hydrochloride and tadalafil 5mg do, how to take them, who should avoid them, and how to order online with delivery across India.

Product Information 

What Is ALFUGEM T 5/10?

ALFUGEM T 5/10 combines two medicines that help the urinary system through different routes.

• Alfuzosin hydrochloride (ER) is an alpha-1 blocker. It relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate and at the bladder neck, so urine can flow more easily.
• Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor. At a low daily dose, it relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder and improves blood flow in the pelvic region. It is also known for treating erectile dysfunction, so it can help men who have both BPH symptoms and erection difficulty, when a doctor considers it appropriate.

Having both medicines in one tablet means fewer pills, a simpler routine and steadier adherence. Whether this combination suits you is a decision for your doctor after examination and, where needed, tests such as PSA, urine tests and ultrasound.

Uses of ALFUGEM T 5/10

Your doctor may prescribe this combination for:

• BPH with bothersome urinary symptoms, such as weak stream, hesitancy, straining, dribbling, incomplete emptying, frequent urination and night-time urination (nocturia)
• BPH together with erectile dysfunction, where a doctor decides that both conditions should be treated
• Symptom relief while other BPH therapy is being planned, as decided by a urologist

It is not for women or children. It does not treat prostate cancer, urinary infection or kidney stones, and it is not a substitute for proper evaluation of blood in the urine, pain or retention of urine.

How Does ALFUGEM T 5/10 Work?

1. Alfuzosin relaxes the muscle around the prostate and bladder neck, which widens the passage for urine.
2. Tadalafil relaxes smooth muscle in the lower urinary tract and improves local blood flow.
3. The combined effect is a stronger, smoother urine stream, less urgency and less waking at night for many men.
4. Time matters: some men notice easier urination within days to a couple of weeks, but the full benefit may take several weeks of regular use.

Key Benefits 

• Two medicines, one tablet: simpler than taking separate tablets.
• Once-daily convenience: fits into a daily routine.
• Addresses more than one symptom pattern: urinary flow symptoms and, where relevant, erectile function.
• Targets night-time urination and urgency: the symptoms men often find most disruptive.
• Extended-release alfuzosin: designed for smooth, steady action through the day.
• Compact 10-tablet strip: easy to carry and to track.
• Indian manufacturer: made and marketed by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.

Warnings and Precautions

• Are allergic to alfuzosin, tadalafil or any ingredient in the tablet
• Have moderate or severe liver impairment
• Take strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole or ritonavir, which raise alfuzosin levels

• Are a woman or a child

Speak to your doctor before use if you:

• Have heart disease, chest pain (angina), a recent heart attack or stroke, heart failure, or uncontrolled blood pressure. Your doctor should decide whether sexual activity and this medicine are safe for you.
• Take other alpha-blockers (such as tamsulosin, doxazosin or silodosin), blood pressure medicines or other PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, vardenafil)
• Have kidney impairment
• Have a known QT prolongation or take medicines that affect heart rhythm
• Have had a vision problem such as NAION or an inherited retinal disorder such as retinitis pigmentosa
• Have a bleeding disorder or active stomach ulcer
• Have a condition that may lead to prolonged erection, such as sickle cell disease, multiple myeloma or leukaemia
