Doxadura for Hypertension

Doxadura is an alpha-blocker medication used to treat hypertension. Hypertension is described as persistently high blood pressure higher than 140 mmHg (systolic pressure greater than 140 or diastolic relatively high pressure than 90). Alpha-blockers lower cholesterol pressure by relaxing your blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily through them. That said, it also aids in improving urination in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). However, this drug is not suitable for children or adolescents below 18 years.

What Is Doxadura Tablet?

Doxadura contains the active ingredient doxazosin, which dilates both arteries and veins. By doing so, the medication reduces blood pressure, enhances urine flow, and lessens the symptoms of BPH. This medication belongs to the antihypertensive class.

How Do Doxadura Tablets Work?

Hypertension: Competitively suppresses postsynaptic alpha1-adrenergic receptors, resulting in vein and arteriole dilatation and a reduction in total peripheral resistance and blood pressure.

BPH inhibits postsynaptic alpha1-adrenergic receptors in prostatic stromal and bladder neck tissues competitively. This eliminates the sympathetic tone-induced urethral stricture that contributes to BPH symptoms.

This drug's impact is apparent 2-6 hours after an oral dose and can last up to 24 hours.

Uses of Doxadura Tablets

Doxadura tablets are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) or symptoms caused by prostate gland enlargement in males.

Benefits of Doxadura Tablets

This medication relaxes your veins and arteries, allowing blood to circulate more easily through the vessels. Furthermore, it relieves pain in the prostate and bladder neck, making urination simpler.

How to Use Doxadura Tablets

Take this medication strictly as directed by your doctor. Please follow all the instructions on your prescription label. Your dose may be adjusted on occasion by your doctor. Do not use this drug in bigger or lesser doses or for longer than prescribed.

Doxadura is typically taken once per day. This tablet can be taken in the morning or evening with or without meals.

Doxadura pills are available in two varieties: standard and slow-release. Slow-release tabs gradually release doxazosin.

Doxazosin therapy is usually long-term, even for the remainder of your life. If you wish to discontinue taking doxazosin, be sure to talk to your physician first. Stopping abruptly might aggravate your condition. Doxadura tablets should be taken with a glass of water. Swallow them whole. They should not be chewed

Whereas Doxadura tablets can be taken in the morning or evening, it is recommended to take the medication at the same time every day.

Some normal tablets contain a score line to assist you to break the drug and consume it. Check the package insert of your medication to determine if that’s the case.

If you forget to take your doxazosin, skip the missing dosage. Take the next prescription at your scheduled interval. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed dosage.

If you frequently forget to take your medication, set a reminder. You might also seek guidance from your pharmacist on various methods to help you remember when to take your medication.
