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.

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.

infection, headache, and tiredness.
