Hytrin 5MG

Terazosin (5mg)

Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms such as weak urine stream, hesitancy and incomplete emptying; treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)

Terazosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker. It relaxes smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow in BPH, and also relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at bedtime to reduce dizziness/first-dose fainting. Can be taken with or without food; swallow with water. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice.

Dizziness,lightheadedness,headache,weakness/fatigue,drowsiness,postural (orthostatic) hypotension,palpitations,nasal congestion,swelling of legs/ankles (edema),nausea

May cause marked drop in blood pressure after the first dose or dose increases (risk of fainting); take first dose at bedtime and rise slowly from sitting/lying. Use caution when driving/operating machines until effects known. Inform doctor if you have low blood pressure, heart disease, history of syncope, liver impairment, or are planning cataract surgery (risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome). Seek urgent help for prolonged painful erection (priapism) or severe dizziness/fainting.

PDE-5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) and other antihypertensives may increase risk of low blood pressure; other alpha-blockers (tamsulosin, prazosin, doxazosin) additive hypotension; alcohol may worsen dizziness; strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase levels (use caution).

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protected from light and moisture. Keep in original pack and out of reach of children.
