Vasran XL Alfuzosin 10mg (30 Tablets)
Vasran XL is a specialized medication containing Alfuzosin Hydrochloride (10mg) in a prolonged-release (XL) formulation. It is primarily prescribed for men to manage the functional symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate.
Manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries (Ranbaxy), Vasran XL is a high-quality alternative to other alpha-blockers. In the Nigerian market, this same medication is often available under the brand name Flotral.
How Vasran XL Works
Vasran XL belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-1 blockers. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate gland and the bladder neck. This relaxation reduces the resistance to urine flow, making it easier and less painful to urinate. It helps alleviate symptoms like:
- Weak urine stream
- Frequent urge to urinate (especially at night)
- Difficulty starting urination
- Feeling that the bladder is not completely empty
Usage and Dosage
Vasran XL 10mg is typically taken once daily, immediately after the same meal each day. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed, as this would interfere with the prolonged-release mechanism.
Always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor or healthcare provider.
