Doxazosin

About Doxazosin

Doxazosin is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha-blockers. It works by relaxing the muscles in your prostate and bladder neck, making it easier for you to urinate. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). Doxazosin's active ingredient helps dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. It is suitable for individuals with hypertension or enlarged prostate. 

Dosage and usage

You should take Doxazosin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical starting dose is 1 mg once daily, usually at bedtime to minimize the risk of dizziness. Your doctor may gradually increase your dose to achieve the desired blood pressure control. The maximum recommended dose is 16 mg daily. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose to catch up. If you experience prolonged dizziness or lightheadedness, contact your doctor promptly.
