Uses
Terazosin is an alpha-blocker used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It works by relaxing blood vessels, reducing the heart's workload, and improving urine flow by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. Terazosin is effective in managing symptoms associated with BPH and lowering blood pressure. In summary, Terazosin is a valuable medication for treating both hypertension and urinary symptoms in men.
How it works
Terazosin selectively blocks alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, leading to vasodilation and reduced peripheral vascular resistance.
