Cardura Uses, What is Doxazosin?
Chemical Name DOXAZOSIN (dox-AY-zoe-sin)
Cardura belongs to the class of alpha-adrenergic blockers. It acts by dilatating the arteries and veins of the body thus facilitating easy blood flow through them. It is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) which helps in the prevention of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Cardura also relaxes the muscles of the prostate and the neck of the urinary bladder. This effect is used to treat prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hypertrophy) in men. Cardura acts by relaxing the muscles and facilitating urination; there is no shrinkage seen in the size of the prostate. In addition, Cardura is used to pass out kidney stones through urination. In some cases, particular bladder problems related to women have also been treated efficiently with Cardura.
You can buy Cardura online from Canada Pharmacy. Remember, Cardura XL, a slow releasing formula of Cardura is used for the treatment of prostatic enlargement and not for hypertension.
