Xatral Lp Tablets 10mg

Basic Information
Requires Prescription: Yes
Generic Name: Alfuzosin (as Alfuzosin Hydrochloride, Extended Release)
Used For: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
How It Works
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and
incomplete bladder emptying are linked to:
Static component: Prostate enlargement (not always proportional to symptoms)
Dynamic component: Increased smooth muscle tone in the bladder neck, prostate, and
urethra
Alfuzosin is a selective alpha1-adrenergic receptor blocker. It acts by:
Relaxing smooth muscle in the lower urinary tract
Improving urine flow
Reducing BPH symptoms
It targets alpha1 receptors in the prostate, bladder neck, and base, promoting easier urination.
