UROXATRAL Side Effects
UROXATRAL provides safety you can trust. However, before starting any treatment,
you should discuss all the benefits
and risks with your doctor. It is important for you to read to the full precribing
information at the link below.
In clinical trials, the most common side effects associated with UROXATRAL were:
- Dizziness
- Upper respiratory tract infection
- Headache
- Fatigue
UROXATRAL has also been associated with a sudden drop in blood pressure, especially
near the time of treatment initiation. Low blood pressure may lead to fainting,
dizziness or lightheadedness.
You should not drive, operate machinery or participate in any dangerous activities
until you know how UROXATRAL will affect you. This is especially important if you
have already been diagnosed with low blood pressure or take medicines to treat high
blood pressure or erectile dysfunction. If you begin to feel dizzy or lightheaded,
lie down with your legs and feet up. If your symptoms do not improve, call your
doctor. Call your doctor if you experience any side effect that bothers you. Please
see the important safety information for UROXATRAL, or
ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
