Drug Details
Prazosin, known by the brand name Minipress, is used to manage high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. As an alpha blocker, it functions by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which facilitates smoother blood flow and helps reduce blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure is crucial in preventing serious health issues such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Typically taken orally two to three times a day, Prazosin may cause side effects like dizziness, headache, and sleepiness, and is not typically the first-choice medication for lowering blood pressure. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting or changing any medication regimen.
