Drug Details
Doxazosin, also known by the brand name Cardura, is a medication primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By helping to relax blood vessels, doxazosin effectively lowers high blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney issues. As an alpha-1 blocker, it also eases the muscles in the prostate and bladder, which helps alleviate BPH symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, a weak urine stream, and frequent or urgent urination, including nighttime episodes. Doxazosin is available in an immediate-release form for both conditions, while the extended-release form, Cardura XL, is approved specifically for BPH. Common side effects may include low blood pressure, dizziness, and fatigue. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting or changing any medication regimen.

Cardura FAQs
Cardura is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlarged prostate. It works by relaxing blood vessels and muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving blood flow and reducing symptoms.
The choice between Flomax (tamsulosin) and Cardura (doxazosin) depends on the specific medical condition being treated and the patient's individual health profile. Both medications are used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but they have different mechanisms of action and side effect profiles. Flomax is more selective for the prostate and may have fewer cardiovascular side effects, making it a preferred option for some patients. Cardura, on the other hand, can also be used to treat high blood pressure, which might be beneficial for patients with both BPH and hypertension.Ultimately, the decision should be made by a healthcare provider, who can consider the patient's overall health, other medications, and specific needs.
Cardura is not a beta blocker. It is an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker used primarily to treat high blood pressure and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The common side effect of Cardura (doxazosin) is dizziness. This can occur especially when standing up quickly from a sitting or lying position, due to its blood pressure-lowering effects.
Doxazosin is an alpha blocker.
