Uroxatral (generic name: Alfuzosin; brand name: Xatral) is an alpha-blocker for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of BPH.

Uroxatral is prescribed to adult men for the treatment of symptoms of BPH.

Uroxatral is a medicine that you can take once a day. It offers proven symptomatic relief for BPH patients - even those with larger prostates. It improves urine flow by relaxing the smooth muscle located at the bladder neck and around the prostate.
