Always inform your doctor about all your medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, before starting Alfuzosin. This helps avoid potential interactions.
Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and tiredness. These usually subside as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your physician immediately.
Serious Side Effects: Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Rare but serious side effects include fainting, rapid heartbeat, and allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling). If you experience any of these, stop taking Alfuzosin and seek immediate medical attention.
Alfuzosin can lower blood pressure. Monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially when starting or adjusting your dosage. Avoid activities that require alertness if you experience dizziness.
Caution is advised for individuals with a history of heart problems or severe liver/kidney disease. Your doctor will assess your suitability for Alfuzosin based on your medical history.
Sudden vision changes or eye pain warrant immediate medical attention as these can signal a rare but serious side effect.
