What is Terazosin?
Terazosin is a medication used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder, making it easier to urinate.
How to take Terazosin:
Terazosin is taken orally, usually once daily at bedtime, or as directed by a healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to take Terazosin exactly as prescribed, and not to stop or change the dosage without consulting a healthcare provider.
Possible side effects of Terazosin:
Terazosin may cause some side effects, including:
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Headache
Nausea
Runny or stuffy nose
Swelling of the hands, feet, or ankles
Back pain
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Terazosin:
Before taking Terazosin, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, low blood pressure, or prostate cancer. Terazosin may interact with certain medications, including blood pressure medications, erectile dysfunction medications, and medications that treat an irregular heartbeat. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Terazosin should not be used during pregnancy unless specifically recommended by a healthcare provider. It is also important to inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding, as it is not known if Terazosin passes into breast milk.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Terazosin. Terazosin is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
