Drug Mode of Action ::
Alfuzosin is a quinazoline derivative which exhibits selectivity for ?1-adrenergic receptors in the lower urinary tract. Blockade of these adrenoreceptors causes relaxation of smooth muscle in the bladder neck and prostate, resulting in improvement in urine flow and a reduction in symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Drug Interactions ::
Additive effect on QT interval prolongation when used w/ QT-prolonging drugs. Concomitant admin w/ other ?1-adrenergic blocking agents, atenolol or diltiazem may result in additive CV effects. Increased plasma alfuzosin concentrations w/ cimetidine. Potentially Fatal: Concurrent use w/ potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir) increase plasma alfuzosin levels.
