Xatral review
|
Xatral is a medication categorized in the group of alpha-adrenergic blockers. Primarily, it is used in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. Xatral helps in relaxing the muscles of the urinary system, making it easy for the patient to urinate.
Also distributed under the generic name Alfuzosin, in 2003, the FDA approved this medication for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Xatral is in the form of a tablet and is taken orally. A 10mg tablet taken daily after meals is the standard dose. It is best to take the medicine at the same time daily so as to maintain the schedule and avoid the tendency of missing a dose. Avoid crushing or chewing the medicine and take it with a glass of water to make it easier to swallow whole.
If you have missed a dose, skip it and simply take the next dose. Do not attempt to take two doses at a time to make up for the missed one because you will overdose which might harm your health.
In the event of an overdose, seek immediate medical attention.
