Alfuzosin Hydrochloride and Bethkis

• Generic Name: alfuzosin
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Uroxatral

Reduction of urinary obstruction and relief of associated manifestations (e.g., hesitancy, interrupted or weak stream, sensation of incomplete bladder emptying or straining, urgency, nocturia) in patients with symptomatic BPH.

Although drug therapy usually is not as effective as surgical therapy, it may provide adequate symptomatic relief with fewer and less serious adverse effects compared with surgery.

May consider combined therapy with an α1-adrenergic blocker and 5α-reductase inhibitor for men with bothersome moderate to severe BPH and demonstrable prostatic enlargement. Has been more effective than therapy with either drug alone in preventing long-term BPH symptom progression. Men at risk for BPH progression are most likely to benefit from combination therapy.

Manufacturer states that alfuzosin should not be used for the treatment of hypertension.
