Xatral

How is this medication used?

Xatral is typically taken once a day immediately after a meal, as food increases its absorption. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not crushed or chewed. The medication should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level in the bloodstream.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Xatral include dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, and stomach pain. Some people may experience more serious side effects such as a decrease in blood pressure when getting up from a lying or sitting position, leading to feelings of lightheadedness or fainting. It's important to rise slowly to prevent these effects. If you experience any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention.

What are the potential interactions?

Xatral can interact with other medications, especially those that affect blood pressure, such as other alpha-blockers, beta-blockers, and erectile dysfunction drugs. It can also interact with medications processed by the liver, as Xatral is metabolized in the liver. Consumption of alcohol can enhance the effects of Xatral, increasing the risk of side effects such as dizziness or fainting. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
