About Alfusin T 5 Tablet

Alfusin T 5 Tablet is used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia occurs due to non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of the cells. Benign prostatic hypertrophy/hyperplasia mostly occurs in older men.
