Composition

• Prazosin Hydrochloride 2.5 mg (Extended Release)

Indications

Razosin ER Tablet is indicated for:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (off-label use in some cases)
• Congestive heart failure (as adjunct therapy)
• Raynaud’s phenomenon (as prescribed)
• PTSD-related nightmares (off-label use under supervision)

Mechanism of Action

Prazosin selectively blocks postsynaptic alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in vascular smooth muscle. This leads to vasodilation of both arteries and veins, resulting in reduced peripheral vascular resistance and lowered blood pressure. The extended-release formulation provides more stable plasma levels and reduces the risk of sudden hypotension.
