Symptoms Quiz
BPH is a treatable medical condition and you can get relief.
Take our 8-question quiz to see if you might have BPH and print out a copy to share
with your doctor. Only a doctor can tell you if your symptoms are due to BPH or another
prostate disease. Even if your score is low, see your doctor if your symptoms are
troublesome.
This quiz is adapted from the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and questions
consist of the seven AUA Symptoms Score Questions plus the single Bothersome Score
Question. Generally, men with BPH will score higher on this symptom evaluation than
men who do not have the condition.

Indication
UROXATRAL® (alfuzosin HCl 10 mg extended-release tablets) is an alpha1-blocker
for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of BPH.
Important Safety Information
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.
Before taking UROXATRAL, tell your doctor if you have kidney 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.
Please see UROXATRAL patient information.
