What is doxazosin used for?
doxazosin is an alpha antagonist used for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH) and high blood pressure.
How does doxazosin work?
doxazosin is an alpha-1 blocker. In benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), it relaxes certain muscles in the prostate and bladder. This relaxation makes it easier for urine to flow, reducing problems with urination. In the treatment of high blood pressure, it relaxes your blood vessels. This relaxation allows blood to flow more smoothly throughout your body, which helps lower your blood pressure.

doxazosin is typically taken by mouth once a day.
Is it safe for me to take doxazosin?
