Alfuzosin (Uroxatral)
Alfuzosin, known by its brand name Uroxatral, is a medication primarily used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition commonly known as an enlarged prostate.
It belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-1 blockers (alpha-adrenergic blocker). Alpha-1 blockers are a group of medicines that relax the muscles in the prostate and the bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
BPH is a condition in older men where the prostate gland enlarges, which can cause urinary problems such as difficulty in starting urination, a weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently. Alfuzosin works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the bladder, which helps to improve urine flow and reduce symptoms of BPH.
Alfuzosin does not shrink the prostate but merely relieves the symptoms. Therefore, it is often prescribed for symptom relief rather than as a cure for BPH. It is also not used for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Alfuzosin comes as an extended-release (long-acting) tablet to take by mouth and it is usually prescribed to be taken once a day after a meal.
It is important to take the medication as prescribed and not miss any doses, as this can affect its effectiveness in managing BPH symptoms.
It’s crucial for patients to discuss their health history with their healthcare provider before starting alfuzosin, as it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly for those with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain medications.
In the United States, alfuzosin is available under the following brand names:
- Uroxatral
Common side effects associated with alfuzosin may include:
- Dizziness

More serious side effects which should be reported to your healthcare provider immediately may include:

- Abdominal pain
- Loss of appetite
- Dark colored urine
- Jaundice
- Painful and long erections
The above lists of possible side effects associated with alfuzosin are not exhaustive and other side effects may occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking alfuzosin, it is important to contact your healthcare provider right away.
