CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
_Hypertension_: Slocinx XL is indicated for the treatment of
hypertension and can be used as the sole
agent to control blood pressure in the majority of patients. In
patients inadequately controlled on
single antihypertensive therapy, Slocinx XL may be used in combination
with a thiazide diuretic,
beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, calcium antagonist or an
angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.
_Benign prostatic hyperplasia_: Slocinx XL is indicated for the
treatment of urinary outflow obstruction
and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Slocinx XL may be used in BPH patients who are either hypertensive or
normotensive. While the
blood pressure changes in normotensive patients with BPH are not
usually clinically significant,
patients with hypertension and BPH have had both conditions
effectively treated with doxazosin
monotherapy.
