What Is Alfuzosin Used For?

Alfuzosin prescription medication is sometimes used in treating symptoms associated with BPH in men. Alfuzosin does this by helping to relax smooth muscle tissue in the bladder neck, lower urinary tract, the prostate and prostatic capsule - muscles that can interfere with urination when tensed. Alfuzosin does this by blocking alpha₁ adrenoceptors which is why it belongs to a class of medications known as alpha₁ adrenoceptor antagonist medications. In this capacity, alfuzosin medication is similar to the medications doxazosin (Cardura), prazosin (Minipress), tamsulosin (Flomax), and terazosin (Hytrin).

Once administered orally, alfuzosin reaches maximum concentration in approximately 8 hours and demonstrates an absolute bioavailability of approximately 50%. Alfuzosin tablets should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed and should be taken immediately after a meal as absorption tends to be lower under fasting conditions.
