Hytrin indications
Chemical Name: TERAZOSIN (ter-AY-zoe-sin)
Hytrin (Terazosin)
Hytrin medication is used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate which is called benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH. Terazosin 2 mg is used alone as well as with other drugs for treating hypertension (high blood pressure). It helps in lowering the high blood pressure and prevents strokes, heart attacks and even prevents kidney problems.
Terazosin works by relaxing the blood vessels allowing the blood to flow more easily. Hytrin medication also known as Terazosin works to treat BPH in men. This does not shrink the prostate but relaxes the muscles in the prostate and part of the bladder.
Terazosin 2 mg helps relieve symptoms of BPH which include difficulty in urinating, weak stream and the urge to urinate.
Each tablet of Hytrin medication contains Terazosin 2mg. You can purchase this medicine from Canada Pharmacy.

Hytrin medication is taken by mouth (orally) with or without food or as directed by your physician. It can usually be taken once daily before bedtime. For the first time, do not take Terazosin more than 2mg as Terazosin may cause a sudden drop in your blood pressure leading to dizziness and fainting.
