Uroxatral Drug Information
Healthcare providers prescribe Uroxatral® (alfuzosin hydrochloride) to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, such as:
- Frequent urination (urinary frequency)
- Needing to get up several times at night to urinate (nocturia)
- Difficulty fully emptying the bladder.
Uroxatral comes in the form of an extended-release tablet that is taken once a day, just after a meal. Before starting treatment, it's important to review the drug's safety information. Uroxatral may not be suitable for everyone, so make sure your healthcare provider is aware if you have any other medical condition (such as liver or kidney disease) or are taking any other type of medication.
