Doxazosin

Alternative Names: Cardura

Doxazosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker used to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH). It works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder neck, which makes it easier to urinate. Symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and difficulty starting urination often improve within days to weeks. Unlike finasteride, doxazosin does not shrink the prostate but provides faster symptom relief. Side effects can include dizziness, fatigue, and low blood pressure, especially when first starting the medication.
