Overview:

Uroxatral
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Alfuzosin is an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent used to treat hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Accordingly, Alfuzosin is a selective inhibitor of the alpha1 subtype of alpha adrenergic receptors. In the human prostate, Alfuzosin antagonizes phenylephrine (alpha1 agonist)-induced contractions, in vitro, and binds with high affinity to the alpha1c adrenoceptor, which is thought to be the predominant functional type in the prostate. Studies in normal human subjects have shown that Alfuzosin competitively antagonized the pressor effects of phenylephrine (an alpha1 agonist) and the systolic pressor effect of norepinephrine. The antihypertensive effect of Alfuzosin results from a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and the parent compound Alfuzosin is primarily responsible for the antihypertensive activity. For the treatment of the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia

Mechanism Of Action:
Alfuzosin acts by inhibiting the postsynaptic alpha(1)-adrenoceptors on vascular smooth muscle. This inhibits the vasoconstrictor effect of circulating and locally released catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine), resulting in peripheral vasodilation.
