Doxazosin

Doxazosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha-1 adrenergic blockers, which ease symptoms of an enlarged prostate and manage elevated blood pressure. This prescription medication is often recommended for use in conjunction with other treatments for the long term. Its active ingredient, Doxazosin mesylate, is usually taken once daily, with or without food. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to avoid side effects, such as dizziness or low blood pressure, especially during the initial period of treatment with the drug or when making dosage adjustments. To order Doxazosin online from Canada, use your doctor’s prescription.

Doxazosin is prescribed to treat:

• Hypertension
• Heart failure
• Raynaud’s disease
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Benefits of Doxazosin

• It relaxes blood vessels and effectively reduces blood pressure, thereby reducing the chances of heart attacks and strokes.
• It improves urine flow by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and the neck of the prostate.

The Doxazosin dosage for high blood pressure varies depending on the condition and strength of the tablets your doctor has prescribed for you. The typical dosage of Doxazosin includes:

Dosage of Doxazosin for Hypertension

Oral Tablets

• Adults: The initial recommended dose is 1 mg once daily. The maximum daily dosage should not be more than 16 mg.
• Children: Your doctor will determine the usage & dosage.

Dosage of Doxazosin for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Oral Tablets

• Adults: The initial dose is 1 mg once daily, in the morning or evening. Your doctor may increase the Doxazosin dosage to 8 mg once daily.

Extended-Release Tablets

• Adults: The initial dose is 4 mg once daily, in the morning after a meal. Your doctor may increase the Doxazosin dosage to 8 mg once daily.

• Take Doxazosin extended-release tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically once daily in the morning, with food.
• Swallow the Doxazosin tablet whole, without chewing, crushing, or breaking it.
• You should not stop taking it abruptly without consulting your doctor, and avoid driving or hazardous activities until you know how it affects you.
• Doxazosin does not cure hypertension or shrink the size of your prostate, but it does help relieve symptoms of this condition.
• Let your doctor know if your condition does not improve or worsen.

Doxazosin is a selective α₁‑adrenergic receptor blocker that relaxes the smooth muscle in both blood vessels and the prostate/bladder neck. By inhibiting norepinephrine from binding to post-synaptic α₁ receptors, it causes vasodilation, thereby reducing vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure. Additionally, it eases urinary flow in benign prostatic hyperplasia by decreasing muscle tone around the urethra. Its long half‑life supports once‑daily dosing, and it does not significantly affect heart rate or cardiac output.

Common Doxazosin side effects may include:

• Bitter taste
• Breathlessness
• Dizziness
• Edema
• Sleepiness
• Polyuria
• Xerostomia

Serious side effects (rare):

• Jaundice or liver issues
• Easy bruising or bleeding
• Serious allergic reaction

Note: Contact your medical provider if you experience any severe or unusual symptoms.

Similar to other medications, Doxazosin also comes with certain warnings that people should keep in mind before using it. The key points of the warnings include:

• Cataract Surgery: This medication can affect your pupils during cataract surgery. Inform your surgeon beforehand that you are taking Doxazosin.
• Hypersensitivity Reaction: Do not take Doxazosin if you have ever had a hypersensitivity reaction to this medication or any of the ingredients present in the drug.
• Orthostatic Hypotension: Some individuals may experience dizziness when standing up after being seated or lying down for an extended period.

There are certain precautions that users should be aware of when using Doxazosin. These mainly include:

• Medical History: Before using Doxazosin, you should share your medical history with your physician, especially if you have severe constipation, a blockage in your digestive tract, hepatic disease, or low blood pressure.
• Pregnancy: It is still unknown if Doxazosin affects your unborn baby. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to get pregnant, or suspect a pregnancy before using Doxazosin.
• Breastfeeding: The safety of Doxazosin for breastfeeding is not established. It is unknown whether Doxazosin passes into breastmilk or causes harm to a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding an infant while using this medication.
• Alcohol Use: You should avoid consuming alcohol while using Doxazosin, as it can increase the risk of lightheadedness, dizziness, and fainting.

If you miss a dose of Doxazosin, take it as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if the time to take your next scheduled dose is almost here. Do not take an extra dose of Doxazosin to make up for the missed dose.

An overdose of Doxazosin can cause extreme dizziness or fainting. If you think you or someone has taken this medication more than the prescribed dose, seek medical assistance by calling the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
