Cardura (Doxazosin)

General information

Cardura belongs to the family of medications called antihypertensives, specifically the alpha-1 receptor antagonists (alpha blockers). It is used alone or in combination with other drugs to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is also used in men to treat the symptoms of a prostate gland condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlarged prostate). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder neck and prostate. Relaxing these muscles leads to relief of symptoms of BPH such as the feeling of needing to urinate frequently or urgently, weak stream, difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, and the need to urinate during the middle of the night.

Directions

Take Cardura exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The recommended adult dose for treatment of high blood pressure ranges from 1 mg to 16 mg daily. The recommended initial dose of doxazosin is 1 mg once daily. The recommended dose for symptoms of enlarged prostate ranges from 1 mg to 8 mg once daily. The recommended initial dose of doxazosin is 1 mg once daily. The dose may be increased to 2 mg a day. After that, the dose can be increased to 4 mg daily, and then 8 mg daily if needed.
