Why is this Doxazosin
prescribed?
Doxazosin is used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, a condition in which the prostate gland grows larger, pressing on the urethra and threatening to block the flow of urine from the bladder. The drug relieves symptoms such as a weak stream, dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder, frequent urination, and burning during urination. Doxazosin is also used in the treatment of high blood pressure. It is effective when used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications, such as diuretics, beta-blocking medications, calcium channel blockers or ACE inhibitors.
Doctors also prescribe Doxazosin , along with other drugs such as digitalis and diuretics, for treatment of congestive heart failure.
Most important fact about Doxazosin
If you have high blood pressure, you must take Doxazosin regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Doxazosin ; and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Doxazosin does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control.
How should you take Doxazosin ?
This medication can be taken with or without food. Doxazosin should be taken exactly as prescribed, even if your symptoms have disappeared. Try not to miss any doses. If this medication is not taken regularly, your condition may worsen. If you have benign prostatic hyperplasia, you should see improvement in a week. Blood pressure will fall in 2 to 6 hours. --If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time. --Storage instructions...

The usual starting dose is 1 milligram taken once a day. To minimize the potential for dizziness or fainting associated with Doxazosin , which may occur between 2 and 6 hours after a dose, your doctor will monitor your blood pressure during this period and afterwards. After the effects of the starting dose are measured, your doctor may increase the daily dose to 2 milligrams and then, if necessary, to 4 milligrams, 8 milligrams, or, in people with high blood pressure only, up to 16 milligrams. As the dose increases, the potential for side effects such as dizziness, vertigo, light-headedness, and fainting also increases.
