Minipress is used in the treatment of hypertension either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs (diuretics or beta-adrenergic blocking agents) and also of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It contains prazosin hydrochloride.
Dosage and direction
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not miss doses as irregular intake increases the risk of high blood pressure. Do not stop taking this medication without permission of your doctor even if your symptoms improved. The usual recommended dose of Minipress is 1 mg two or three times a day. It maybe gradually increased up to 20 mg daily dose given in divided doses.
Precautions
Inform your doctor if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. Minipress excretes with breast milk and is harmful to your baby. Low blood pressure is possible even when first doses of the medication are taken. You may feel faint, dizzy, or light-headed, particularly when you stand up from a lying position.
