Alfuzosin

Alfuzosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, a type of alpha blocker used to relieve the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Sold under brand names such as Uroxatral and Xatral, it relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow without shrinking the prostate itself. Taken as a once-daily extended-release tablet, it is a common first-line medical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
