Xatral medicine is in the form of a tablet, and it can be found under a different name as a generic medicine. The prostate gland is present in male population and it has the function to connect the urinary bladder to the urethra. When men become older, there is a big chance that their prostate gland will expand. That can cause problems while urinating. Alfuzosin, contained in Xatral, helps in blocking alpha-receptors in the prostate gland, or, more precisely, in its muscle, which further helps in relaxation of the prostate muscle and decreases problems during urination.
At the beginning of the treatment with Xatral, side effects such as passing out or lightheadedness may occur. Due to this, it is better to take Xatral before going to sleep. If you are standing up or moving, be aware that these side effects can show up. If they do, you should sit down or lie until the dizziness passes. In some people, consumption of alcohol may increase the side effects. If you are taking this medicine, be careful while driving or doing any other activity which requires absolute awareness. As long as these side effects are present, you shouldn’t do anything like this. The blood pressure can also vary, so it needs to be controlled.
