What does alfuzosin do for the prostate?

Alfuzosin works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate. This helps increase the flow of urine while relieving some of the symptoms of BPH . However, this medicine does not shrink the prostate so it may continue to enlarge. Some of the side effects include low blood pressure, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, heartburn, constipation, headaches and a decrease in sexual ability.
