Doxazosin: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

From:
$12.98

Doxazosin Mesylate is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It relaxes blood vessels to improve circulation and reduces muscle tension in the prostate and bladder neck to ease urination. Cardura lowers blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems, while improving urinary flow in men with BPH.
