Usage, Directions, Indication and Instructions

Terazosin is used in men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), which include difficulty urinating (hesitation, dribbling, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying), painful urination, and urinary frequency and urgency.
It also is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure.

Adverse Reactions, Precautions and Warning

You should know that terazosin may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting when you get up too quickly from a lying position. This is more common when you first start taking terazosin, when your dose is increased, or when treatment with terazosin is stopped for several days and then restarted. To avoid this problem, get out of bed slowly, resting your feet on the floor for a few minutes before standing up. If you experience these symptoms, sit or lie down. If these symptoms do not improve, call your doctor.
Drowsiness is also commonly associated with this medicine. Use with caution especially when performing tasks that may require physical and mental alertness such as driving and operating machinery.

Dosage and Administration

It is usually taken with or without food once a day at bedtime or twice a day. Take terazosin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Important

Terazosin controls high blood pressure and the symptoms of BPH but does not cure them. It may take 4 to 6 weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of terazosin for BPH. Continue to take terazosin even if you feel well. Do not stop taking terazosin without talking to your doctor.

Take only under doctors directions.
