Alfuzosin vs Uroxatral
 | Alfuzosin |  | Uroxatral |  |
| This medication is used to treat the symptoms of a prostate gland condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlarged prostate). It is an alpha blocker that works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder neck and prostate. Relaxing these muscles leads to relief of symptoms of BPH such as the feeling of needing to urinate frequently or urgently, difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate during the middle of the night. This medication should not be used to treat high blood pressure. | This medication is used to treat the symptoms of a prostate gland condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlarged prostate).

Reviews
| Add Alfuzosin review I have used this medication for quite some time. It seems to have taken care of my problems with my prostate and kidney stones. I have been on this drug for 15 months. I feel less lightheaded than with Flomax. Recently, my pharmacist switched to another lab and I have far less episodes of lightheadedness. My physician recommended using more salt as a way to raise my BP. I have low BP because I have been an athlete since age 14; my current resting pulse is 50. | Add Uroxatral review Switched to Uroxatral after being on Flomax for a couple months. While Flomax addressed the BPH issues well, it had a horrendous effect on my sexual function. Could no longer ejaculate at all, and could no longer reach any orgasm. Within a few days of being on Uroxatral, those issues were gone, and in some ways were better than before I was on either drug. Uroxatral seems to be handling the BPH issues just fine. Not experiencing retrograde ejaculation on this medication but urine flow seems even worse and I have a pain inside the tip of my penis and bilateral pains in inguinal canals. Perhaps still from the cystoscopy last week! Very fatigued on this med. More ejaculate but it is clearer and less milky in color! May stop med soon. | |||
