Description
Indications
Terazosin is indicated for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men, specifically targeting the alleviation of related symptoms, such as difficulties in urination, painful urination, and increased urinary frequency and urgency. This medication can also be employed either as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs to manage hypertension.
Belonging to the class of alpha-blockers, terazosin exerts its therapeutic effects by inducing relaxation of the muscles in the bladder and prostate, leading to symptom relief in individuals with BPH. It aids in reducing blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, thereby facilitating smoother blood flow throughout the body.
Uses and Dosage
Terazosin is administered orally in capsule form. Typically, it is taken once daily at bedtime or twice a day, with or without food. Take terazosin exactly as directed, refraining from altering the dosage or frequency unless specifically advised by your doctor.
The initial dose of terazosin prescribed by your doctor will likely be conservative and then gradually increased. If you happen to discontinue terazosin for several days or longer, promptly inform your doctor. In such cases, your doctor will likely reintroduce the medication at the lowest dose before gradually adjusting it.
While terazosin effectively manages high blood pressure and alleviates symptoms associated with BPH, understand that it does not provide a cure. The full benefits of terazosin for BPH may take approximately 4 to 6 weeks or possibly longer to manifest.
Throughout the treatment period, continue taking terazosin as prescribed, even if you start feeling better. Under no circumstances should you discontinue terazosin without consulting your doctor.

Caution
Prior to initiating terazosin treatment, inform your doctor or pharmacist about any known allergies, including allergies to alpha blockers such as doxazosin or prazosin, as well as any other allergies you may have. This medication may contain inactive ingredients that can trigger allergic reactions or other adverse effects.
Before commencing this medication, disclose your complete medical history to your doctor or pharmacist, with particular attention to conditions like low blood pressure and fainting, as well as certain eye problems like cataracts and glaucoma.
Terazosin may induce dizziness or drowsiness. The consumption of alcohol or marijuana may exacerbate these effects.

Refrain from driving or undertaking hazardous tasks for a duration of 12 hours after the first dose, after any dose increment, and when restarting the medication after discontinuation.
Elderly individuals may exhibit heightened sensitivity to the side effects of this medication, particularly dizziness, fainting, and low blood pressure upon transitioning from a seated or lying position to a standing one. These side effects can increase the risk of falling.
