What is Prazosin?
|
|
Prazosin
belongs to the general class of medicines called
antihypertensives. It is used to treat high blood
pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to
the workload of the heart and arteries. If it
continues for a long time, the heart and arteries
may not function properly. This can damage the blood
vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting
in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High
blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart
attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur
if blood pressure is controlled. Prazosin works by
relaxing blood vessels so that blood passes through
them more easily. This helps to lower blood
pressure.

The history of Prazosin
|
|
Prazosin is in a class of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers.
Prazosin causes the blood vessels (veins and
arteries) to relax and expand, which allows blood to
pass more easily through them.

Pregnancy—Limited use of prazosin to control high blood pressure in pregnant
women has not shown that prazosin causes birth
defects or other problems. Studies in animals given
