About Nafodil 50 Tablet 10

Nafodil 50 Tablet is primarily used to manage the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterised by an enlarged prostate gland in men. This medicine belongs to a class of medications known as alpha-1 adrenergic blockers.

In addition to managing BPH, this medicine is also beneficial in improving urine flow, reducing the need for frequent urination, and making it easier to empty the bladder fully. These effects collectively help in alleviating the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with BPH such as weak urine stream and difficulty starting urination.

Before you start taking this medicine, it is essential to consult your doctor who will determine the appropriate dose based on your medical condition and response to treatment. You should also inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you experience any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. It is crucial to continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.
