Apo-Terazosin 2mg Tablet 10s (Strip)

Apo-Terazosin 2mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications called alpha-1 adrenergic antagonists (alpha-blockers), with terazosin hydrochloride as its active ingredient, used to manage mild to moderate high blood pressure and relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering why your doctor didn't start you directly at 2mg — this strength is generally used as an intermediate titration step after an initial lower dose, since alpha-blockers carry a genuine risk of a significant blood pressure drop, especially when standing up, during the first dose, early treatment days, or after dose increases. It's usually taken at bedtime to help reduce this risk, and your doctor may advise avoiding driving or hazardous activities for about 12 hours after your first dose, dose increase, or restarting treatment after interruption. Some people experience dizziness, headache, weakness, or nasal congestion, and the dose should always be increased gradually rather than adjusted suddenly. Because of the fainting risk and other precautions, discuss your medical history with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Treatment is usually started with 1mg once daily at bedtime. The 2mg strength is used as a subsequent titration step and may be increased gradually every few days to weeks depending on your condition and response. The usual maintenance dose ranges from 5mg to 10mg once daily. Never begin treatment at 2mg or higher unless specifically instructed by your doctor.

• Known hypersensitivity to terazosin or any ingredient in the formulation
• History of micturition syncope (fainting associated with urination)
• Caution required before cataract surgery due to risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome; inform your eye surgeon about current or previous terazosin use
• Caution advised in patients with kidney impairment or urinary tract problems

Terazosin may cause additional blood pressure lowering when combined with other antihypertensive medicines. Use with verapamil may increase the risk of low blood pressure and rapid heartbeat. Caution is also needed with PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil, as these combinations may significantly lower blood pressure. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications and supplements you are taking.
