Hytrin

Hytrin 1 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH) such as difficulty urinating or a weak urine stream. It helps by relaxing blood vessels and the muscles in the prostate and bladder.

You should inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney, or heart problems, have had eye surgery (especially cataracts), take medications for erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, or chest pain, and/or are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Individuals should not take Hytrin 1 Tablet if they are allergic to terazosin or any other ingredients peresent in Hytrin 1 Tablet, have a history of fainting when urinating (micturition syncope), and have low blood pressure or conditions where sudden drops in blood pressure are dangerous.

You should seek medical attention if you experience serious side effects of Hytrin 1 Tablet such as fainting or feeling like you might pass out, fast heartbeat or palpitations, painful long-lasting erections (priapism), severe allergic reactions (swelling of lips, face, or throat), and blurry vision during cataract surgery.

The first dose of Hytrin 1 Tablet (or when resuming after a break) can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to fainting and dizziness. That's why it should be taken at bedtime and with caution.

Take Hytrin 1 Tablet at bedtime (especially when starting treatment) to minimize dizziness from first-dose effects. After adjusting, your doctor may switch you to morning dosing.

No, do not stop taking Hytrin 1 Tablet suddenly. Your doctor may gradually reduce the dose under medical supervision. Stopping it abruptly can cause a sudden rise in blood pressure and worsen symptoms of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

During Hytrin 1 Tablet treatment, you should rise slowly from sitting/lying to prevent dizziness, avoid alcohol (increases dizziness risk), and inform surgeons/dentists before any procedures (risk of low blood pressure).
