Key points

  • Alfuzosin can cause dizziness or fainting, especially after starting treatment or with other blood-pressure medicines.
  • Liver disease, heart-rhythm risk and strong enzyme-inhibiting medicines can make it unsuitable.
  • Inability to pass urine, fainting or a prolonged painful erection needs urgent care.

Important safety checks

Blood pressure, liver and kidney function, heart rhythm, prostate assessment and other alpha blockers or erectile-dysfunction medicines require review. Tell an eye surgeon about current or past use before cataract surgery.

Seek urgent help for collapse, chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, inability to urinate or an erection that is painful or will not subside.
