Xatral Xl 10 Mg 30 Capsules

Xatral Xl 10 Mg 30 Capsules

Description:

Xatral XL 10 mg 30 capsules is a prescription oral medication used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. Each extended‑release capsule contains 10 mg of alfuzosin hydrochloride, an alpha‑1 adrenergic receptor blocker that relaxes the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder neck. This targeted relaxation helps improve urine flow, reduce urinary frequency and urgency, and decrease nighttime urination, thereby enhancing quality of life in men with an enlarged prostate. Xatral XL is designed as a once‑daily, extended‑release formulation to provide steady symptom control over 24 hours when taken regularly as directed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Treatment of functional symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men.
• Relief of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to enlarged prostate, such as weak or interrupted urine stream.
• Reduction of urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia (nighttime urination) associated with BPH.
• Improvement of difficulty in starting urination and feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
• Support in improving overall urinary flow and bladder emptying, potentially reducing the need for surgical intervention in some BPH patients as assessed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Alfuzosin hydrochloride – 10 mg per extended‑release capsule.
• Excipients: extended‑release matrix and capsule components (full excipient list and individual concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the official package leaflet for complete details).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Standard adult dose: 1 capsule (10 mg) orally once daily, or exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Administration: Take the capsule with a meal, preferably at the same time each day to maintain stable blood levels and optimize symptom control.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush, chew, open, or break the capsule, as this will interfere with the extended‑release mechanism.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Duration of use: Treatment duration is determined by your healthcare provider based on your symptoms and response. It may take several days to weeks of continuous use to experience the full therapeutic benefit.
• Overdose: In case of accidental overdose (e.g., taking more than the prescribed number of capsules), seek immediate medical attention, as there is a risk of significant low blood pressure and fainting.
• Use in special populations: Not recommended for use in women or children. Use with caution and under strict medical supervision in patients with liver or kidney impairment; dose adjustments or alternative therapy may be required as decided by the physician.

Clinical Benefits:

• Improves urinary flow by relaxing smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, helping urine pass more easily.
• Reduces bothersome urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, and nocturia, improving day‑to‑day comfort.
• Helps decrease episodes of hesitancy and straining at the start of urination, and reduces the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying.
• Provides convenient once‑daily, extended‑release control of BPH symptoms, supporting better adherence and more stable symptom relief over 24 hours.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to alfuzosin hydrochloride or any of the capsule components.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of severe liver impairment; alfuzosin is extensively metabolized by the liver.
• May cause a drop in blood pressure (especially postural hypotension), dizziness, or fainting, particularly at the start of treatment or when therapy is resumed after interruption. Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions and avoid sudden posture changes.
• Use with caution in patients with pre‑existing low blood pressure, heart disease, or those taking antihypertensive medications, nitrates, or other alpha‑blockers due to increased risk of hypotension.
• Inform your ophthalmologist before cataract or glaucoma surgery, as alfuzosin and other alpha‑blockers have been associated with intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS).
• Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking alfuzosin, as it may increase blood levels of the drug and the risk of side effects.
• Not indicated for use in women or children; it is intended for adult males with BPH.
• Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform tasks requiring alertness if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint after taking the medication.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, heart rhythm disorders, or if you are taking other prescription medicines, over‑the‑counter drugs, or herbal supplements that may interact with alfuzosin.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions; although this product is not intended for women, this general caution applies to all prescription medicines.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision; it is a prescription medicine for BPH as indicated.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and nasal congestion.
• Cardiovascular effects such as low blood pressure, postural hypotension (feeling lightheaded when standing), palpitations, or fainting can occur, especially at treatment initiation or dose changes.
• Sexual side effects such as abnormal ejaculation may occur in some patients.
• Musculoskeletal symptoms such as back pain can be experienced.
• Allergic reactions including rash, itching, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and difficulty breathing or swallowing require immediate medical attention.
• Chest pain, severe dizziness, or fainting should be treated as urgent and evaluated by a doctor immediately.
