When and How to Take This Medication

Cardura XL include the following:
- Cardura XL comes in the form of an extended-release tablet. It is usually taken by mouth once a day with breakfast.
- Make sure to take this medication with food. Taking it on an empty stomach results in less of the medication being absorbed.
- Make sure to swallow the tablets whole. Do not cut, break, chew, or crush them.

- For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed.
The dosage your healthcare provider recommends will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
- How you respond to the medication
- Other medical conditions you may have

As is always the case, do not adjust your dosage unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.
