1. What is Alfuzosina STADA and what is it used for

Alfuzosina STADA belongs to a group of medications called alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonists or alpha-blockers.

Alfuzosina is used in the treatment of moderate to severe symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. An enlarged prostate can cause urinary changes such as increased frequency and difficulty urinating, especially at night. Alpha blockers relax the muscle tissue of the prostate and bladder. This allows urine to flow out of the bladder more easily.

2. What you need to know before starting Alfuzosina STADA

Do not take Alfuzosina STADA:

If you are allergic to alfuzosina, other quinazolines (for example, terazosina, doxazosina, prazosina) or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6). Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, swelling in lips, tongue or throat, difficulty swallowing or breathing.

If you have any condition that causes a marked decrease in blood pressure when standing up.

If you have any liver problems.

If you are taking other medications that belong to the group of alpha blockers.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Alfuzosina STADA:

• If you have any severe kidney problems, as the safety of Alfuzosina STADA has not been established in this case.

If you are taking other medications for the treatment of high blood pressure. In this case, your doctor will check your blood pressure regularly, especially at the beginning of treatment.

Your blood pressure should be monitored regularly, especially at the beginning of treatment with this medication, due to the possibility of a pronounced decrease in blood pressure. If you experience a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, characterized by dizziness, sweating or fatigue in the hours following the intake of Alfuzosina STADA, lie down with your legs and feet elevated until the symptoms completely disappear. These effects usually last a short time and occur at the beginning of treatment. Normally, it is not necessary to interrupt treatment.

If you have experienced a marked decrease in blood pressure in the past after taking another medication belonging to the group of alpha blockers. In this case, your doctor will start treatment with alfuzosina at low doses and gradually increase the dose.

If you have a heart condition (acute heart failure).

If you have chest pain (angina) and are being treated with nitrates, treatment with alfuzosina may increase the risk of a decrease in blood pressure. Your doctor will interrupt treatment with alfuzosina if angina returns or worsens.

Your doctor will decide whether to continue treatment for chest pain or interrupt treatment with Alfuzosina STADA, especially when chest pain returns or worsens.

If you are to undergo cataract surgery (opacity of the crystalline lens), inform your eye specialist before the operation that you are taking or have taken Alfuzosina STADA previously. This is because Alfuzosina STADA may cause complications during the operation that can be avoided if your specialist is previously prepared.

If you have a heart rhythm defect or are taking medications that may cause a heart rhythm defect (the medical term for this defect is QTc prolongation). In this case, your doctor must evaluate you before and during the period of administration of Alfuzosina STADA.

Taking Alfuzosina STADA with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently or may need to take any other medication.

Do not take Alfuzosina STADA if you are being treated with other medications belonging to the group of alpha blockers.

Ketoconazol and itraconazol (medications used for the treatment of fungal infections) and ritonavir (medication used for the treatment of HIV).

If you are using or will use any of the following medications, treatment with Alfuzosina STADA may cause a decrease in blood pressure:

Medications used to treat high blood pressure.

Medications (nitrates) used for the treatment of symptoms of chest pain (angina).

  • Medications that must be administered before a surgical intervention (general anesthetics). Your blood pressure may drop significantly. If you are to undergo a surgical intervention, inform your doctor that you are taking Alfuzosina STADA.

If you take more Alfuzosina STADA than you should

If you take large amounts of Alfuzosina STADA, consult your doctor or go to the nearest hospital immediately. Your blood pressure may drop suddenly and you may experience dizziness or even fainting. If you start to feel dizzy, sit or lie down until you feel better.

If you forget to take Alfuzosina STADA
