Hytrin 2mg

Product Overview

Terazosin 2mg is used in adults to improve urine flow in enlarged prostate (BPH) and to help manage high blood pressure. It works by relaxing smooth muscles in the prostate, bladder neck, and blood vessels, reducing urinary obstruction and improving circulation.

Doctor’s Review (General Observation)

According to Dr. Imran Siddiqui (Urologist, Karachi), Terazosin is commonly used to relieve urinary symptoms in prostate enlargement. It is usually started at bedtime to minimize dizziness. However, heart and blood pressure status must be evaluated before use. This is a general observation, not a treatment recommendation.

Dosage

Take only as advised by your doctor, usually once daily at bedtime. Swallow whole with water. Do not double the dose if missed.

Side Effects

May cause dizziness (especially when standing), headache, weakness, nausea, blurred vision, or swelling in feet/hands. Seek medical help if severe or unusual symptoms occur.

Precautions

Stand up slowly to avoid sudden blood pressure drop. Use with caution in patients with liver, kidney, or heart conditions. Inform your eye surgeon before cataract surgery. Avoid alcohol or sedatives due to increased drowsiness.

Drug Interactions

Use carefully with blood pressure medicines, erectile dysfunction drugs (e.g., Sildenafil), diuretics, sedatives, nitrates, or CNS depressants, as these may increase the risk of low blood pressure or excessive drowsiness.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and out of reach of children.
