Description

Doxazosin, commonly marketed under the brand name Cardura, is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Here’s a detailed description along with key features, usage instructions, precautions, and potential side effects:

Doxazosin belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-blockers, which work by relaxing the muscles in the blood vessels and prostate gland, thereby improving blood flow and reducing symptoms associated with hypertension and BPH.

Key Features:

1. Blood Pressure Regulation: Doxazosin effectively lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely, and reducing the workload on the heart.
2. Symptom Relief for BPH: It helps to relieve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), such as difficulty urinating, by relaxing the muscles in the prostate gland and bladder neck, improving urine flow.
3. Once-Daily Dosage: Cardura tablets are typically taken once daily, making it convenient for patients to adhere to their medication regimen.

Usage Instructions:

• Take Doxazosin tablets orally as directed by your healthcare provider.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water, preferably at the same time each day.
• It may be taken with or without food.
• Follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose or frequency of administration.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule.

Precautions:

• Inform your healthcare provider about any allergies, medical conditions, or medications you are currently taking before starting Doxazosin therapy.
• Doxazosin may cause dizziness or fainting, especially when rising from a sitting or lying position. Take precautions to avoid falls and injury, particularly during the initial period of treatment or when the dosage is increased.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery, as Doxazosin may impair your ability to perform certain tasks safely.
• If you are scheduled for cataract surgery, inform your eye surgeon beforehand that you are taking Doxazosin, as it may cause complications during the procedure.
• Do not abruptly discontinue Doxazosin therapy without consulting your doctor, as sudden withdrawal may lead to rebound hypertension or worsening of BPH symptoms.

Side Effects: Common side effects of Doxazosin may include:

• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Nausea
• Swelling of the hands or feet

Less common but more serious side effects may include:

• Fainting or lightheadedness
