Terazosin (Hytrin)

Terazosin (Hytrin)

Description

Terazosin (Hytrin) is prescribed to reduce high blood pressure. It may be regularly used alone or in combination with other blood pressure lowering drugs, such as hydrochloride (a diuretic) or propranolol, a beta blocker.

Spironolactone removes excess fluid from the body in  congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and kidney disease. It can also be used in combination with other drugs to treat elevated blood pressure and for treating diuretic-induced low potassium (hypokalemia). Spironolactone also is used to counteract the effects of excessive adrenal aldosterone production (hyperaldosteronism). Aldosterone overproduction can occur from a tumor in the adrenal gland or enlarged adrenal glands (hyperplasia of the adrenal glands).

Customer feedback
Hytrin tablets contain the active ingredient terazosin, which is a type of medicine called an alpha-blocker.
Terazosin has two different uses. It works by blocking alpha receptors in certain areas of the body. Alpha receptors are also found in the muscle in the walls of blood vessels. By blocking these receptors, terazosin causes the muscle to relax and allows the blood vessels to widen. This lets the blood pass more easily through the blood vessels and hence reduces blood pressure. Terazosin can therefore be used to treat high blood pressure.

If terazosin is taken with other medicines that reduce blood pressure, either as a treatment for high blood pressure (antihypertensives), or as a side effect, there may be an enhanced blood pressure lowering effect. This might make you feel dizzy, particularly with the first dose of terazosin. If you do feel dizzy, you should lie down until the symptoms pass. If any dizziness persists you should let your doctor know, as your medicine doses may need adjusting.

Dosage:
Spironolactone may be taken with or without food. The dosage range is 25-400 mg daily in single or divided doses.

Spironolactone Side Effects
Side effects of spironolactone include headache,  diarrhea, cramps, drowsiness, rash, nausea, vomiting, impotence, irregular menstrual periods, and irregular hair growth. Fluid and electrolytes imbalance (for example, low sodium, low magnesium, and high potassium) may occur, so patients should be monitored carefully. Enlargement of the breasts (gynecomastia) may also occur and is related to dose and duration of therapy. It usually reverses upon discontinuation of spironolactone.

Storage:
Spironolactone should be stored at room temperature.
