Why is Xatral prescribed?
Alfuzosin (Xatral) is prescribed to male patients for the treatment of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement of the prostate gland). The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia may include problems in urination such as pain when urinating, difficulty urinating, or frequent urination.
What does it do?
Alfuzosin is classified as an alpha-blocker that works by allowing relaxation of the muscles in the bladder and prostate to induce urination. It should not be used for the management of hypertension and should only be used by men.
How should I take it?
Xatral is available as a 10mg tablet intended for oral administration after meals for better absorption of the drug. Do not take it before meals or on an empty stomach. Take it at the same time every day and always follow your doctor’s instructions on how to take it.
When taking Xatral, swallow the tablet whole. It should not be crushed, chewed, broken in half, or tampered with in any way.
Do not stop taking Xatral without consulting your doctor. It does not treat benign prostatic hyperplasia for it only controls it.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist for any concerns you may have in taking Xatral. Do not alter your dose without consulting your doctor.
What if I missed a dose?
The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.
What are the special precautions before taking Xatral?
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Alfusozin as this product may contain inactive ingredients that may cause allergies if you are susceptible.
Inform your doctor of any medical condition that you or your family may have or had such as prostate cancer, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, heart or kidney problems, and if you experienced fainting, dizziness, or low blood pressure after taking medications.
Taking this drug may cause dizziness or fainting because it can lower your blood pressure. Get up slowly when you are seated or lying down to prevent feeling dizzy. Check your blood pressure regularly. Do not drive or operate machinery until you feel it is safe to do so. Inform your doctor if there is no improvement of these symptoms.
