💊 Prazopress XL 2.5mg Tablet
Prazopress XL 2.5mg Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Prazosin 2.5mg, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker. It is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. It may also be prescribed to improve urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by relaxing the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck.
The prolonged-release (XL) formulation provides sustained release of the medicine for longer-lasting blood pressure control. Proper treatment helps reduce the risk of complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
