Results for tag: "Terazosin"

Terazosin is a medication used to treat hypertension, or high blood pressure, and benign prostatic hyperplasia, or an enlarged prostate. It is a selective alpha-1 blocker, meaning it works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of blood vessels, allowing them to widen and reducing the pressure of the blood flowing through them. This helps to lower blood pressure and improve symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Terazosin is often used in combination with other medications to treat hypertension and is sometimes prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke in people with certain heart conditions. Terazosin is available in both generic and brand-name forms. It is typically taken once or twice a day, depending on the condition being treated. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. In the Terazosin market, some of the companies include Pfizer, Mylan, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Sandoz. Show Less Read more
