ALCINAC-MRX

Alcinac-MRX Tablet is a combination medication for acute musculoskeletal pain and inflammation, offering the advantages of pain relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and muscle relaxation.

How it Works / Key Benefits:

  • Aceclofenac: A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation at injured or diseased sites.

  • Paracetamol (Acetaminophen): Works centrally as a painkiller (analgesic) and fever reducer (antipyretic). It assists aceclofenac in pain relief and is gentle on the stomach.

  • Tizanidine: A centrally acting muscle relaxant, it acts on the spinal cord and brain centers to relieve muscle spasm and stiffness, improving movement and reducing functional impairment caused by muscular pain or spasm.

Uses:

  • Management of acute low back pain, neck pain, joint pains, arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis)

  • Muscular pain associated with sprains, strains, injuries, dental procedures, headache, and period pain

  • Reduces spasm, swelling, and improves mobility and quality of life in patients with musculoskeletal disorders

Dosage & Administration:

  • Usual adult dose: 1 tablet twice daily (as directed by the physician)

  • Should be taken with or after food

  • Swallow whole, do not crush or chew

Safety & Precautions:

  • Not for patients with known allergy to NSAIDs, severe liver/kidney/heart disease, active ulcers, or uncontrolled hypertension

  • Common side effects: drowsiness, dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, loss of appetite, stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, and weakness

  • Can cause sedation; do not drive or operate machinery if you feel drowsy

  • Avoid alcohol (may increase drowsiness and risk of stomach bleeding)

  • Not for children or breastfeeding/pregnant women without medical advice

  • Monitor for persistent or severe side effects and inform your doctor

Note:
Alcinac-MRX is for short-term relief of muscular pain, spasm, and inflammation. Use only as prescribed, and consult your doctor if you have ongoing symptoms or pre-existing medical conditions.

ALCINAC-P

Alcinac-P Tablet is a combination painkiller and anti-inflammatory medication widely used for the relief of pain and swelling in various conditions.

ALFUFAST

Alfufast Tablet contains alfuzosin hydrochloride 10 mg in a prolonged/extended-release formulation, generally taken once daily with food. It is prescribed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—an enlarged prostate causing lower urinary tract symptoms in men.

How it Works / Key Benefits:

  • Alfuzosin is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist. It binds to and blocks these receptors in the smooth muscle of the prostate, bladder neck, and urethra.

  • This blockade relaxes the smooth muscle and reduces resistance, improving urine flow and relieving symptoms like urinary hesitancy, weak stream, straining, nocturia, and incomplete bladder emptying.

  • The prolonged-release tablet ensures sustained drug levels for 24-hour symptom control, allowing convenient once-daily dosing with lower risk of vasodilatory side effects; titration is not typically needed.

Uses / Indications:

  • Symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with urinary frequency, urgency, and discomfort

  • Not indicated for hypertension or as a preventive therapy

Dosage & Administration:

  • One 10 mg prolonged-release tablet once daily, immediately after the same meal each day (improves absorption and reduces side effects)

  • Swallow whole; do not crush, break, or chew

Safety & Precautions:

  • Common side effects: dizziness (esp. on standing), headache, tiredness, abdominal discomfort, runny nose, mild hypotension

  • Less likely to cause sexual side effects compared to other alpha-blockers

ALFUFAST-D

Alfufast-D Tablet is a fixed-dose combination medicine used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, or prostate enlargement) in adult men.

How it Works

  • Alfuzosin is an alpha-1 blocker that relaxes the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow and relieving BPH symptoms like weak stream, straining, and frequent urination.

  • Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), reducing prostate size over time and further relieving symptoms and risk of urinary retention or need for prostate surgery.

  • The combination addresses both rapid symptom relief (alfuzosin) and longer-term reduction in prostate size (dutasteride), providing more comprehensive management of BPH, especially in moderate-to-severe cases.

Uses / Indications

  • Treatment of moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH/enlarged prostate

  • Reduces risk of urinary retention and need for surgical intervention in BPH.

Dosage & Administration

  • One tablet daily, as prescribed, swallowed whole with water, usually after the same meal each day.

  • Not for use in women, children, or adolescents.

Safety & Precautions

  • Common side effects: Dizziness (especially on standing), headache, fatigue, abnormal ejaculation, decreased libido, impotence, breast tenderness or enlargement, and nasal congestion.

  • Dutasteride can cause birth defects—women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle broken or crushed tablets.

  • Blood donation should be avoided during and for at least six months after stopping the medicine (because dutasteride is present in the blood).

  • Caution in patients with liver disease or concurrent antihypertensive use.

  • Regular check-ups with blood tests to monitor prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and overall prostate health are recommended.

Note:
This combination is for symptom management and does not cure prostate cancer. Do not stop or start medication without medical supervision, and report persistent side effects to your doctor.
