Terazosin UsesTerazosin hydrochloride (generic Hytrin) is prescribed to reduce high blood pressure. It may be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure lowering drugs, such as HydroDIURIL (a diuretic) or Inderal, a beta blocker.
Terazosin HCL is also prescribed to relieve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. BPH is an enlargement of the prostate gland that surrounds the urinary canal. It leads to the following symptoms:
a weak or interrupted stream when urinating
a feeling that you cannot empty your bladder completely
a feeling of delay when you start to urinate
a need to urinate often, especially at night
a feeling that you must urinate right away
Terazosin HCL relaxes the tightness of a certain type of muscle in the prostate and at the opening of the bladder. This can reduce the severity of the symptoms.
Terazosin How To TakeYou may take Terazosin HCl (generic Hytrin) with or without food. Take your first dose at bedtime. Do not take more than the 1 milligram your doctor has prescribed.
Terazosin Side EffectsTerazosin SIDE EFFECTS, that may go away during treatment, include dizziness, headache, nausea, drowsiness, lack of energy, dry mouth, or nasal congestion. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience chest pain, swelling of hands or feet, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, decreased sexual ability, easy bleeding or bruising, or irregular or unusually fast heartbeat. IF YOU EXPERIENCE difficulty breathing; tightness of chest; swelling of eyelids, face, or lips; or if you develop a rash or hives, tell your doctor immediately. Do not take any more doses of Terazosin HCl unless your doctor tells you to do so. If you notice other effects not listed above contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
Terazosin Medical PrecautionsDo not take Terazosin HCl (generic Hytrin) if you are sensitive to it or have ever had an allergic reaction to it.
When your blood pressure falls in response to Hytrin, you may faint. Other less severe reactions include dizziness, heart palpitations, light-headedness, and drowsiness. You are also likely to feel dizzy or faint whenever you rise from a sitting or lying position; this should disappear as your body becomes accustomed to Hytrin. If your occupation is such that these symptoms might cause serious problems, make sure your doctor knows this from the start; he or she will increase your Hytrin dosage very cautiously.
Regardless of your occupation, avoid driving, climbing, and other hazardous tasks at the following times:
For 12 hours after your first dose of Hytrin
With each new dosage increase
When you re-start Hytrin after any treatment interruption
If you are taking Hytrin for benign prostatic hyperplasia, remember that although Hytrin helps relieve the symptoms of BPH, it does NOT change the size of the prostate, which may continue to grow. You may still need surgery in the future. In addition, it is possible to have BPH and prostate cancer at the same time.
If you develop the side effect called priapism---a painful erection that last for hours---call your doctor without delay. The condition can lead to impotence if not treated immediately.
Terazosin Drug InteractionsIf Terazosin is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Hytrin with the following: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers such as Motrin and Naprosyn; Other blood pressure medications, such as Dyazide, Vasotec, Calan, and Verelan
Terazosin Medical NotesIf you take too much Terazosin, dizziness, light-headedness, and fainting may occur within 90 minutes. A large overdose may lead to shock. If you suspect an overdose of Terazosin Hydrochloride, seek medical attention immediately.
Terazosin Missed DosagesIf you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.
