4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Cardura XL is indicated for the treatment of hypertension and can be used as a sole agent to control blood pressure in
hypertensive patients.
In patients inadequately controlled on single antihypertensive therapy, Cardura XL may be used in combination with a
thiazide diuretic, beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, calcium antagonist or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The initial dose of Cardura XL is 4mg once daily. A significant number of patients will be controlled on this dose. If
necessary, the dosage may be increased to 8mg once daily according to patient response.
The maximum recommended dose is 8mg once daily.
Cardura XL can be taken with or without food.
The tablets should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of liquid. They should not be cut or chewed.

under close supervision.
