Thu, 10 Aug 2006 08:05:32 -0400

Drug Name: Terazosin (ter AH zoe sin)

Brand Names: Hytrin

Generic Name: Terazosin

Uses: Terazosin is a reliable drug for reducing high blood pressure. It is known to treat hypertension (high blood pressure),the "silent killer". It may be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure lowering drugs, such as HydroDIURIL (a diuretic) or Inderal, a beta blocker. Its chemical component causes the blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and expand and allows blood to pass more easily through them.

When the heart beats, it pumps blood to the arteries and creates pressure in them. High blood pressure is a lifelong disease. It can usually be controlled but not cured. Once you begin to manage it and start a treatment program, maintaining a lower blood pressure is easier. By controlling your high blood pressure, you'll lower your risk of diseases like stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney disease.

Terazosin loosens up the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, which makes it easier to urinate. It is also prescribed to relieve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. BPH is an enlargement of the prostate gland that surrounds the urinary canal.
