Hytrin Tablets 5Mg (1 Strip = 10 Tablets)
Terazosin hydrochloride causes a decrease in blood pressure by decreasing total peripheral vascular resistance
Terazosin hydrochloride causes a decrease in blood pressure by decreasing total peripheral vascular resistance. The vasodilatory hypotensive action of terazosin hydrochloride appears to be produced mainly by blockade of alpha-1-adrenoceptors.
Purpose
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Ingredients
Terazosin Hydrochloride
Warnings
Syncope has also been reported with other alpha-adrenergic blocking agents in association with rapid dosage increases or the introduction of another antihypertensive drug. Syncope is believed to be due to an excessive postural hypotensive effect, although occasionally the syncopal episode has been preceded by a bout of severe supraventricular tachycardia with heart rates of 120 to 160 beats per minute.
To decrease the likelihood of syncope or excessive hypotension, treatment is advised to always be initiated with a 1 mg dose of terazosin hydrochloride, given at bedtime.
If syncope occurs, the patient is advised to be placed in a recumbent position and treated supportively as necessary. There is evidence that the orthostatic effect of terazosin hydrochloride is greater, even in chronic use, shortly after dosing.
Side Effects
