Prazosin is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. It is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, meaning it blocks the action of certain hormones in the body that can cause blood vessels to constrict. This helps to reduce blood pressure and improve blood flow. Prazosin is also used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges. It can also be used to treat congestive heart failure and Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition in which the fingers and toes become cold and numb due to reduced blood flow. Prazosin is available in both generic and brand-name forms. It is typically taken orally in the form of a tablet or capsule. Common side effects of prazosin include dizziness, headache, and nausea. Companies in the Prazosin market include Pfizer, Mylan, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Sandoz. Show Less Read more
