Alfoo 10mg Tablet PR contains Alfuzosin, an alpha-blocker used to ease urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). It helps improve urine flow and reduces the frequent urge to pass urine. The prolonged-release tablet relaxes the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck so urine can pass more freely. It does not shrink the prostate but provides noticeable relief from discomfort when taken regularly as prescribed.
