Flotral (alfuzosin) works by relaxing the muscles in your bladder neck and prostate to help urine flow more easily. This relaxation alters the pressure and opening of your urethra, which can sometimes cause the urine stream to temporarily spray or point sideways as your body adjusts to the medication. This is a common, harmless effect and usually nothing to worry about. However, if you experience any pain, burning, or difficulty passing urine, please reach out to your doctor. Otherwise, staying well-hydrated should help as your system adapts.

What could be causing my urine stream to point sideways instead of flowing straight after starting Flotral 10mg?
