interruption of flow . His temperature is 37C(98.6F), blood pressure is 130/75mm Hg, pulse is 76/min, and respirations are 15/min. Physical examination shows no abnormalities except increased tone of the anal sphincter and mild periprostatic tenderness. Urinalysis and urine culture shows no abnormalities and

Alfuzosin for Prostatic Hyperplasia

I was affected by Prostatic Hyperplasia. I took Alfuzosin. It took a few days for me to feel any noticeable difference. Once it worked its way into the system, it acted as described and provided relief with almost no side affects. The one thing I can not stress more is to make sure it is taken consistently (same time every day) for maximum effect and relief.
