Overview
Xatral XL 10mg Tablet contains alfuzosin, an alpha-blocker used to relieve urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men.
Alfuzosin works by relaxing the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier for urine to flow and relieving symptoms such as difficulty starting to urinate and a weak urine stream.
How it Works
Xatral XL selectively blocks alpha-1 receptors in the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck, causing this muscle to relax. This reduces resistance to urine flow through the urethra, making it easier to pass urine and relieving associated symptoms.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet whole, immediately after a meal, at the same time each day. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet, as this affects its prolonged-release action.

The usual adult dose is one 10mg tablet taken once daily, immediately after the same meal each day.
