Generic Uroxatral

Is Alfuzosin a Generic Uroxatral?

No -- alfuzosin is the active ingredient in Uroxatral, but it is not a generic version of Uroxatral. What can be confusing is that, oftentimes, the active ingredient of a drug is referred to as the "generic name." The generic name is different from a generic version of a medicine. In order for there to be a generic version of a medicine, the original medicine must have gone off patent, and another company besides the original manufacturer would make the product.
