This medication contains alfuzosin and should not be taken by certain patients. Individuals with allergies to alfuzosin or any other components of this medication, those with orthostatic hypotension, severely impaired liver function, poor kidney function, bowel obstruction, patients already taking other alpha-blockers, and those on strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should not take this medication. This medication may cause orthostatic hypotension in some patients, particularly those taking blood pressure medications, during the first few hours, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and sweating. In such cases, rest in a lying position should be taken until symptoms completely disappear, and caution is particularly necessary for older patients. Patients with heart diseases or those taking it alongside blood pressure medications should use this medication with caution, and it is inappropriate to prescribe it alone to patients with coronary artery disease. If symptoms of angina worsen, the medication should be discontinued immediately. Caution is also required for patients with QT interval prolongation or those taking related medications that could affect the electrical signals of the heart. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, dyspepsia, constipation, weakness, and fatigue, with rare occurrences of skin rash, hypotension, and erectile dysfunction. This medication may be associated with small pupil syndrome during cataract surgery, so it is essential to inform your ophthalmologist before undergoing eye surgery. The entire tablet should be swallowed; crushing, chewing, or breaking it into powder can lead to instability in efficacy and increase the risk of side effects. Patients who have taken other alpha-blockers or have a severe history of hypotension should be more cautious when using this medication. Severe side effects such as persistent erections may occur rarely, so if such symptoms arise, inform a healthcare provider immediately. Furthermore, this medication may cause a risk of excessively low blood pressure when used with certain antihypertensive agents or nitrate preparations, so consultation with a doctor is essential. It is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women as safety has not been established. Efficacy has not been proven in pediatric patients, and it should not be used in children under 2 years of age. In the initial stages of use, dizziness or weakness may occur, thus caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. In case of overdose, immediate hospitalization for appropriate treatment is necessary, as removal by dialysis is difficult. Lastly, this medication should be stored out of reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers for safety.
