What is the generic for Uroxatral (alfuzosin)?
Uroxatral’s generic name is alfuzosin. In most countries, “generic Uroxatral” refers to alfuzosin extended-release tablets (the same active ingredient, but sold under different brand names).
How do you know if a product is the right generic?
Check the label for:
- Active ingredient: alfuzosin
- Dosage form: extended-release (ER)
Uroxatral is an extended-release product, so generics should match that release type for the intended dosing schedule.
What strengths are generics usually sold in?
Uroxatral is commonly prescribed in the 10 mg extended-release strength. Generic versions are typically marketed in the same strength and release format, though availability can vary by pharmacy and country.
Are “alfuzosin” and “alfuzosin ER” interchangeable?
Not always. If a product is immediate-release rather than extended-release, the dosing schedule may differ, so you should not substitute one for the other unless a pharmacist or prescriber confirms it’s equivalent for your prescription.
How much cheaper are generics?
Generic alfuzosin usually costs less than branded Uroxatral, but the exact price depends on:
- your pharmacy
- your country
- the specific manufacturer
- insurance coverage
If you share your country and the dose written on your prescription (e.g., 10 mg ER), I can help you narrow down what to ask your pharmacist for.
