Terazosin is a drug used to treat prostatic hyperplasia and high blood pressure. It belongs to the α1 receptor blocker class of drugs, which reduces symptoms caused by prostatic hyperplasia by dilating blood vessels. Terazosine can also lower blood pressure and help control hypertension. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, headache, and low blood pressure. Upon initial use, dizziness or syncope may occur, so patients are advised to take it at night before bed to reduce these adverse effects. Terazosine may affect driving ability, and patients should avoid driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery while taking the drug. Drinking alcohol should be avoided while using terazocin as alcohol may increase the side effects of lowering blood pressure. Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia or hypertension should use terazosin correctly according to their doctor's recommendations and return for regular follow-up visits to monitor efficacy and adverse reactions.
How to use: Please take the medication every day as directed by your physician. It is recommended to take it before bed to reduce the risk of dizziness or drowsiness. The medicine can be taken with food or on an empty stomach, but it should be taken at a fixed time every day to avoid missing doses. When starting the medication, avoid standing suddenly to avoid hypotension.
Dosage Guidelines: It is generally recommended that the starting dose for adults is 1 mg per day, which can be gradually adjusted to 2 to 10 mg per day according to individual conditions. For children or elderly patients, the dosage may need to be adjusted. Please ask your physician for individual guidance based on the patient's specific conditions. During the dosage adjustment process, changes in blood pressure and possible side effects should be closely observed and reported to the physician in a timely manner. Do not adjust your dosage or stop using the medication on your own, only under the supervision of a physician.
