Faq for medicine:
Q: Is Fual safe?
A: Fual is relatively safe if used at prescribed doses for the prescribed duration as advised by your doctor.
Q: Is Fual better than tamsulosin?
A: Fual and tamsulosin belong to the same category of drugs and are equally effective and safe in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Always follow doctor's advice regarding its use.
Q: Does Fual contain sulfa?
A: No, Fual does not contain sulfa. However, please refer to the package insert of the prescribed brand before use for the composition.
Q: Does Fual lower prostate specific antigen?
A: Fual can lower the prostate specific antigen. However, the effect may vary with the individual taking the medicine.
Q: How to use Fual with a catheter?
A: Fual can be given to a patient with a catheter in place and can continue even after removal of the catheter. Clinical studies have shown beneficial results of using Fual in patients catheterised for acute urinary retention caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). These patients could pass urine more easily after catheter removal with a lesser need for re-catheterisation.
Q: Does Fual cause ejaculation problems?
A: Ejaculatory problems like retrograde ejaculation and ejaculation failure are a common side effect associated with the use of Fual and are dose-dependent, i.e., a higher dose will cause more side effects. Priapism (painful erection) is also seen to be a rare and serious side effect with its use.
Q: Is Fual a steroid?
A: Fual is not a steroid. It is an alpha adrenergic receptor blocker used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Q: Is Fual available over the counter?
A: Fual is not an over the counter medicine. It belongs to a class of prescription medicines.
Q: How does Fual work?
A: Fual relaxes the smooth muscles of the prostate and decreases the pressure on the urethra. This helps in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia as it allows easy passage of urine and decreases urge to urinate repeatedly both during day and night time, and it allows complete emptying of the bladder.
Q: Does Fual help in erectile dysfunction?
A: Fual is not indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Please consult your doctor if you are suffering from erectile dysfunction for its right treatment.
Q: Is Fual a diuretic?
A: No, Fual is not a diuretic. It is an alpha adrenergic receptor blocker used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Q: How does Fual help in removal of kidney stones?
A: Fual helps in removal of kidney stones which are in the distal ureter. It works by relaxing the muscles of the urinary tract which causes an easy removal of the stones. It does not break the kidney stones. Use of Fual also decreases the need for painkillers.
Q: Is Fual better than tamsulosin?
A: Fual and tamsulosin belong to the same class of drugs and are equally good in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, tamsulosin is seen to cause more ejaculatory problems like retrograde ejaculation and anejaculation and has more chances of causing floppy iris syndrome which can affect the clinical outcomes in cataract surgery.
Q: Why should I stop taking Fual before my cataract surgery?
A: Fual can cause floppy eye syndrome in which the muscles of the iris become floppy and the pupil constricts unexpectedly during cataract surgery. So, when the eye surgeon actually needs a dilated pupil, it will constrict and restrict the field of surgery and can affect the surgical outcomes.
Q: Why does Fual cause stuffy nose?
A: Fual relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels and this vasodilation of the blood vessels can cause a stuffy nose.
