Xatral

Description

Xatral contains the active ingredient alfuzosin, which belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-blockers. It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Xatral is suitable for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland enlarges, causing urinary problems like frequent urination, especially at night.

Dosage and usage

Do not crush or chew the tablet. Avoid alcohol and grapefruit juice while on Xatral. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at your regular time. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed one.
