Uroxatral / Alfuzosin XL / Xatral SR / Xatral XL (generic name: alfuzosin) is used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate and to help with catheter removal in cases of urinary retention caused by benign prostate enlargement in males. Uroxatral is part of a class of alpha-blockers, specifically blocking the alpha-1 receptor. During treatment with Uroxatral, blood pressure must be monitored, especially at the beginning of the treatment. If anyone taking alfuzosin is scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia, it is important to inform the anesthesiologist of this well before the operation. The doctor may decide to stop Uroxatral treatment 24 hours before the surgery. Similarly, anyone scheduled for cataract eye surgery should inform the surgeon that Uroxatral is being taken or was taken in the past, to prevent complications.

Dosage

The doctor will determine the appropriate dose and treatment plan. Always follow the doctor’s and pharmacist’s instructions when using Uroxatral. Swallow the tablet whole with plenty of water. Do not break, crush, or chew the tablet, as this can affect how the medicine is absorbed. The typical dosage for BPE is one tablet daily, taken after the evening meal. Continue taking Uroxatral for as long as it was prescribed even if there is an improvement in health, unless the doctor instructs otherwise. For catheter withdrawal procedures, the usual dose is one tablet per day, commencing on the day the catheter is inserted and ending the day after it is removed (typically 3-4 days). Do not exceed the recommended dose. If an overdose occurs or if a child ingests the medicine, go to the hospital emergency room immediately and bring the medicine package. The patient should lie down to minimize side effects and not drive to the hospital. If a scheduled dose is missed, skip it and take the next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.

FAQ

Does Alfuzosin reduce prostate size?

Alfuzosin relaxes the muscles in the bowel around the prostate and at the bladder opening, which can improve urine flow and alleviate symptoms. However, it does not shrink the prostate.

Should I take Uroxatral with or without food?

Uroxatral should be taken immediately after the evening meal for optimal absorption.

Does alfuzosin work immediately?

Alfulozin is a slow-acting medicine, and it can take up to four weeks before its effects become apparent. It’s important to keep taking it as prescribed even if no improvement is felt in the early stages.

The symptoms include a weak urine flow, stopping and starting while urinating, a frequent and urgent need to urinate, and waking up often during the night to urinate. To diagnose this condition, a healthcare provider may use an imaging test like ultrasound or a catheter to measure the remaining urine in the bladder after urination.

Symptoms of urinary retention cause by BPH can vary from minimal or no symptoms to experiencing intense abdominal pain and the inability to urinate. It is diagnosed with a catheter or ultrasound measuring residual urine left in the bladder after urination.
