Description:
Contiflo Icon 0.4mg Tablet PR is an alpha-adrenergic antagonist used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. While this medication does not shrink the prostate, it effectively relieves common urinary symptoms such as difficulty in passing urine, weak stream, and frequent urination. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, which facilitates easier urination and improves urine flow.
The tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but consistency in timing each day is important for optimal results. The tablet should be swallowed whole without crushing or chewing to maintain its prolonged-release effect. It is essential not to discontinue the medication without medical advice, even if symptoms improve.
Common side effects may include dizziness, back pain, chest discomfort, and ejaculation-related issues such as retrograde ejaculation or altered ejaculation. If these symptoms persist or worsen, medical consultation is advised.
For better symptom management, it is recommended to urinate as soon as the urge arises without straining, limit the intake of caffeine and alcohol—especially in the evening—and maintain good hydration along with a healthy lifestyle.
Before starting Contiflo Icon, inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as drug interactions may occur. If you are scheduled for cataract or glaucoma surgery, be sure to inform your eye surgeon about the use of this medication, as it can affect the procedure. Patients with liver disease should use this medicine with caution and may require regular follow-ups to monitor their condition.
