Uroxatral contains alfuzosin, supplied as 10 mg prolonged-release tablets taken by mouth. It is used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, where an enlarged prostate makes passing urine difficult. Sanofi is the originator company, and the same medicine is also known by the name Xatral.
Alfuzosin works as a selective alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist in the prostate. It relaxes the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck, lowering resistance to urinary flow so the bladder empties more easily. Onset is usually within 1 to 2 hours, and the effect lasts about 24 hours. Syncope can occur during initial dosing, so blood pressure should be monitored and rapid position changes avoided. It is not for use in women or children, and it should not be taken by anyone with a history of orthostatic hypotension, severe hepatic impairment, or concurrent use of other alpha-blockers.
