Cardura XL contains the active ingredient doxazosin. It is a prescription medication used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland.

An enlarged prostate can press on the urethra and make it harder to urinate.

Cardura XL can help improve symptoms such as:

  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Weak urine flow
  • Frequent urination
  • Feeling that the bladder has not completely emptied
  • Needing to urinate during the night

How Cardura XL Works

Cardura XL belongs to a group of medications called alpha-1 blockers.

It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck.

This makes it easier for urine to flow and can improve urinary symptoms caused by BPH.

Important Note

Cardura XL is not approved for treating high blood pressure.

Although doxazosin can lower blood pressure, the extended-release Cardura XL formulation is specifically indicated for the signs and symptoms of BPH.

Take Cardura XL exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

It is usually taken once daily with breakfast.

Try to take it at the same time each day.

Swallow the Tablet Whole

Swallow the tablet whole with water.

Do not crush, chew, or cut Cardura XL tablets. Doing so can affect how the medication is released and may increase the risk of side effects.

Usual Dose

The usual starting dose is 4 mg once daily.

Depending on how well your symptoms improve and how you tolerate the medication, your healthcare provider may increase the dose to 8 mg once daily.

Do not change your dose on your own.

Take It Regularly

Take Cardura XL every day to get the most benefit.

It may take some time before you notice a clear improvement in urinary symptoms.

If You Stop Taking It for Several Days

If you miss Cardura XL for several days, contact your healthcare provider before restarting it.

You may need to restart treatment carefully to reduce the risk of dizziness, fainting, or a sudden drop in blood pressure.

What to Do If You Miss One Dose

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose.

If your next dose is close, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Low Blood Pressure and Fainting

Cardura XL can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, especially when you stand up.

This may cause:

  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Weakness
  • Fainting

The risk may be higher when you first start treatment or after a dose increase.

Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position.

Heart Problems

Cardura XL can sometimes cause palpitations, a fast or irregular heartbeat, or chest discomfort.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease or another cardiovascular condition.

Seek medical attention if you develop severe chest pain, fainting, or a new or worsening irregular heartbeat.

Liver Problems

Doxazosin is processed by the liver.

If you have liver disease, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely.

Cardura XL should be used cautiously in people with liver impairment.

Prostate Cancer

Benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer can cause similar urinary symptoms.

Cardura XL improves symptoms caused by BPH, but it does not treat prostate cancer.

Your healthcare provider may perform tests to check for prostate cancer before or during treatment.

Cataract Surgery

Tell your eye surgeon if you take or have previously taken Cardura XL.

Alpha-blockers such as doxazosin can cause a complication during cataract surgery called intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS).

Your surgeon may need to take extra precautions during the procedure.

Dizziness and Alertness

Cardura XL may cause dizziness or tiredness, especially when treatment begins.

Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.

Mood or Mental Health Changes

Some people may experience nervousness, anxiety, or mood changes while taking doxazosin.

Tell your healthcare provider if you notice unusual or persistent changes in your mood or behaviour.

Allergic Reactions

Do not take Cardura XL if you are allergic to doxazosin, related quinazoline medications, or any ingredient in the tablet.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe rash, or trouble breathing.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Cardura XL is specifically used for BPH, so pregnancy and breastfeeding are generally not relevant to its usual use.

If doxazosin is being considered for another reason, discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding with your healthcare provider before treatment.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Cardura XL?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. If you have missed Cardura XL for several days, contact your healthcare provider before restarting it.

What should I do if I take too much Cardura XL?

Taking too much Cardura XL can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Symptoms may include severe dizziness, weakness, lightheadedness, or fainting. Seek immediate medical attention if an overdose is suspected.

Can Cardura XL cause sexual side effects?

Yes, sexual side effects can occur, although they are not common. Some people may experience problems such as difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. Tell your healthcare provider if you notice sexual side effects that are bothersome or persistent.

How long does it take for Cardura XL to work?

Cardura XL does not usually provide immediate relief. Some people with BPH may begin to notice an improvement in urinary symptoms within 1 to 2 weeks. It may take longer to experience the full benefit. Continue taking Cardura XL every day as prescribed, even if improvement is gradual.
