Frequently asked questions about doxazosin

What is doxazosin?

Doxazosin (generic Cardura) is a prescription drug used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It can also be used to help reduce the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH).

The Center for Disease Control reports that nearly half of adults in the United States have high blood pressure (hypertension). Blood pressure measures the force with which blood pushes against the walls of your arteries. If it stays high for too long without treatment, high blood pressure can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of the body. This damage could result in a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems.

An enlarged prostate is common for men as they get older. While some men experience no symptoms of the natural growth of their prostate, many men do experience symptoms. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH) include difficulty peeing (hesitation, dribbling, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying), pain while peeing, and the feeling of needing to pee frequently.

Talk to your doctor about whether doxazosin may be right for you.

What is doxazosin used to treat?

Doxazosin is used to lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. It is also used to help treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. It is important to note that doxazosin isn’t a cure for high blood pressure or an enlarged prostate but can help manage both conditions.

How does doxazosin work?

Doxazosin is in the class of drugs called alpha-blockers. These work by relaxing the muscles of your blood vessels, which helps blood move through more easily.

For an enlarged prostate, doxazosin relaxes the muscle around the bladder and prostate which help you pee more easily.

What are common side effects of doxazosin?

While adverse reactions to doxazosin are uncommon, some patients who take the drug may experience mild side effects, including:

  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Swelling in the face, hands and feet
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Weakness

If any of the side effects above are severe or do not go away, you should contact your doctor.

Rare, more serious side effects may occur. If you experience any symptoms listed below, contact your doctor right away.

  • rapid, pounding, or irregular heartbeat
  • chest pain
  • shortness of breath
  • hives
  • painful erection of the penis that lasts for hours

Because doxazosin can cause drowsiness and dizziness, especially when you first start taking it, it is advised to avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the drug may affect you.

This is not a complete list of Doxazosin side effects. For more information on advice effects associated with Doxazosin, please visit the National Institutes of Health’s DailyMed webpage.

How long does it take for doxazosin to work?

People normally see a lowering of their blood pressure 2-6 hours after taking doxazosin. The symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate should begin to go away 2-3 hours after taking doxazosin.

What is a typical starting dose of doxazosin?

For treating both high blood pressure and the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, most doctors start patients on a dose of 1 mg of Doxazosin. Your doctor may gradually increase your dose every 1-2 weeks depending on your reactions to the medication.
