Cardura 2mg Tablet contains Doxazosin, an alpha-blocker medication that treats high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This medication relaxes blood vessels and prostate muscles to improve blood flow and urinary symptoms.UsesCardura treats hypertension by lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiovascular risk. It relieves urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia including difficulty urinating, weak stream, and frequent urination. Cardura can be used alone or combined with other antihypertensive medications for better blood pressure control.BenefitsEffectively lowers high blood pressureImproves urinary flow and reduces BPH symptomsReduces risk of cardiovascular complicationsDecreases nighttime urination frequencyAllows once-daily dosing for convenienceCan be combined with other blood pressure medicationsImproves quality of life in BPH patientsDoes not affect sexual function negativelyProvides dual benefits for hypertensive men with BPHHow It WorksCardura blocks alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in blood vessel walls and prostate smooth muscle. This blockade causes blood vessels to relax and dilate, lowering blood pressure. In the prostate and bladder neck, it reduces muscle tone, improving urine flow and relieving obstructive symptoms without affecting prostate size.DosageConditionInitial DosageMaintenance DosageHypertension1mg once daily2-8mg once dailyBPH1mg once daily4-8mg once dailyTake Cardura at bedtime to minimize dizziness.
