Heitrin Indication
For the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and also for hypertension.
Heitrin Pharmacology
Terazosin, classified as a quinazoline, is similar to doxazosin and prazosin. As an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent, terazosin is used to treat hypertension and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Terazosin produces vasodilation and reduces peripheral resistance but in general has slight effect on cardiac output. Antihypertensive effect with chronic dosing is usually not accompanied by reflex tachycardia.
Heitrin Absorption
Essentially completely absorbed in man (90% bioavailability).
