UROXATRAL Improves Your BPH Symptoms — Regardless of Age or Prostate Size
UROXATRAL helps relieve a range of
urinary problems associated with
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), like going to the bathroom often,
day or night. UROXATRAL does not have a generic equivalent.
UROXATRAL has been shown to continue providing BPH symptom relief for up to two
years.
UROXATRAL Is Easy to Take
Just one pill once a day with food is all it takes. A good plan is to take UROXATRAL
at the same time every day — for instance, every morning right after breakfast.
Swallow the tablet whole, and don’t take it on an empty stomach.
UROXATRAL has safety you can trust
UROXATRAL was well tolerated in younger and older men in a
2-year study and has been used by men since 2003.
UROXATRAL and Sexual Side Effects
Men with BPH, commonly known as enlarged prostate, often experience erectile dysfunction
(ED) or other sexual issues. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are concerned about
sexual side effects. In the clinical trials, there was a 1-2% incidence of impotence
in patients taking UROXATRAL.

Important Safety Information for UROXATRAL
Do not take UROXATRAL if you have liver problems or if you are taking antifungal
drugs like ketoconazole or itraconazole, or HIV drugs like ritonavir.
UROXATRAL can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, especially when starting treatment.
This may lead to fainting, dizziness, and lightheadedness. Do not drive, operate
machinery, or do any dangerous activity until you know how UROXATRAL will affect
you. This is especially important if you already have a problem with low blood pressure
or take medicines to treat high blood pressure. There may be an increased risk of
low blood pressure and fainting when taking UROXATRAL in combination with blood
pressure medication or nitrates, or erectile dysfunction medication.
If considering cataract surgery (clouding of the eyes), tell your eye surgeon that
you are currently taking UROXATRAL or have previously been treated with an alpha-blocker.
Before taking UROXATRAL, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems.
Also, tell your doctor if you or any family member(s) have or take medications for
a rare heart condition known as congenital prolongation of the QT interval.
BPH and prostate cancer can cause the same symptoms. However, UROXATRAL is not a
treatment for prostate cancer.
The most common side effects with UROXATRAL are dizziness, upper respiratory tract
infection, headache, and tiredness.
