Prazosin  Sustained Release 

Aug 10, 2023

Introduction

Prazosin 2.5 mg is an alpha-blocker medication that works by relaxing the blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The sustained-release formulation ensures a steady and long-lasting effect.

Prazosin Tablet Uses

  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Helps lower blood pressure and reduce risk of stroke or heart attack

  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Improves urination by relaxing prostate and bladder neck muscles

  • Raynaud’s Disease: Reduces episodes of cold/numb fingers by improving blood flow

  • Congestive Heart Failure (in selected cases)

How Does Prazosin Hydrochloride Work?

Prazosin blocks alpha-1 receptors on blood vessels and the bladder neck. This leads to smooth muscle relaxation, which lowers blood pressure and improves urine flow in men with prostate enlargement.
