Terazosin is a drug used to treat enlarged prostate and high blood pressure. It belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-1 receptor antagonists, which lower blood pressure and improve urine flow by dilating blood vessels and reducing prostate muscle contractions. Terazosine can help reduce symptoms of an enlarged prostate, such as urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence.
When using terazosin, patients should follow their doctor's recommendations and use the drug at the prescribed dosage. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, fatigue and low blood pressure. Before starting terazosin, patients should tell their doctor about their allergies and existing medical conditions to ensure safe use of the medication.
Terazosin may interact with other medicines, so you should seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist when using other medicines. If you experience serious side effects or unexplained discomfort, seek medical attention immediately.
Instructions for use: Please take the medication at a fixed time every day, preferably before bed. The medication should be taken by mouth and should be taken with food to help reduce the risk of stomach upset. While taking the medicine, you should avoid sudden changes in posture from sitting up or lying down to avoid dizziness or fainting.
Dosing Guidelines: For adults, the initial dose is usually 1 mg once daily and subsequently adjusted based on individual response to the drug. The dose may be gradually increased, but each adjustment should not exceed 1 mg and the maximum dose should not exceed 10 mg per day. For children, be sure to consult your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage, as dosage is usually based on age and weight. In any case, follow your doctor's advice and do not adjust your dosage or stop using the medication on your own.
Terazosin is a commonly used blood pressure lowering drug, and some patients may experience side effects after taking it. Common side effects include: dizziness, nausea, tiredness, headache, and low blood pressure.

If serious side effects occur, stop taking the medication immediately and consult your doctor. Remember not to stop taking medication on your own, but should ask your doctor for advice. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should check with your doctor as soon as possible.
