Hytrin 2mg Tablets

Hytrin 2mg Tablets is a tablet made by Abbott Laboratories (pakistan) Ltd that contains Terazosin 2mg, an alpha-blocker. It is used for enlarged prostate and high blood pressure. Pack size: 30 tablets.

Uses of Hytrin 2mg Tablets

Hytrin 2mg Tablets is used to ease the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), such as a weak stream, difficulty starting, passing urine often and getting up at night to go to the toilet. It is also sometimes prescribed to lower high blood pressure, usually alongside other medicines. It does not shrink the prostate, but it can make passing urine noticeably easier.

How Hytrin 2mg Tablets works

Terazosin blocks alpha-1 receptors in the smooth muscle of the prostate, the bladder neck and the walls of blood vessels. The muscle relaxes, so urine flows more freely and blood vessels widen, which lowers blood pressure. The benefit for urinary symptoms usually builds up over a few weeks.

Possible side effects

Many people tolerate Hytrin 2mg Tablets well once they are settled on it. Side effects that are more likely early on include:

• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Tiredness or weakness
• Headache
• Blocked or stuffy nose
• Swollen ankles

Get medical help straight away if you faint, have chest pain or a fast irregular heartbeat, or have a painful erection that lasts more than four hours.

Precautions and warnings

• The first doses can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, so get up slowly from sitting or lying and sit or lie down if you feel faint.
• Tell your doctor if you take other blood pressure medicines or erectile dysfunction medicines such as sildenafil or tadalafil, as the combination can lower blood pressure too much.
• If you are due to have cataract surgery, tell the eye surgeon that you take Hytrin 2mg Tablets, as it can affect the iris during the operation.
• Avoid driving until you know how it affects you, and limit alcohol, which can add to dizziness.
• Let your doctor know if you have liver disease or have fainted when passing urine in the past.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
